The robot that becomes the central focus is such a tragic character that comes to life with some excellent direction and just downright stellar puppetry by Jacob Danell and Carl Lohman.<\/p>\n<p>For a bit I was convinced this was an animated movie, but director Simon \u00d6ster offers up so much crisp direction and sweeping visuals. Everything about \u201cLost in the Sky\u201d is about looking for human contact and companionship in a galaxy bereft of life. Despite the great effects and establishing of this narrative and circumstances, it excels a lot in the corner of deep emotions and the sheer sense of hopelessness. \u201cLost in the Sky\u201d is a stellar short film, especially for science fiction buffs. I hope we can see more from Simon \u00d6ster down the line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cinequest Film &amp; Creativity Festival occurs in San Jose March 7<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 March 17<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director Simon \u00d6ster and his team really do deliver an accomplishment of cinema, it\u2019s a short film about the power of companionship and the classic tale of a species ending war that might not have resulted in the best outcome when all is said and done. \u201cLost in the Sky\u201d revolves around a scavenger robot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1284,12],"tags":[71,501,906,938],"class_list":["post-42997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-a-indie","category-festivalsevents","category-movie-reviews","tag-adventure","tag-indie-film","tag-science-fiction","tag-short-film"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42997"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42999,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42997\/revisions\/42999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
