'Falling Red' - A Short Film written by Marc de Launay
Falling Red
Falling…red…rain. Mars.
It is a lonely planet, where Rich, a pioneering Terranaut from Earth, spends his months compiling experimental data to be sent home. His only companion in the great red wilderness is his robot 'TONI' ('Terrestrial Ordinance Neosphere Investigator – type XI – Registration year 2135').
A sandstorm slams in as they are finishing up a day gathering their experiments, they are stranded a long way from the biosphere station as the sun sets and the storm gathers momentum. The vicious red hail breaches Rich’s Terranaut suit, his life support levels are falling to critical, from green to red. As Rich's life support fails, it seems that all TONI can do is comfort his fallen comrade.
A script dedicated to the memory of Carl Sagan.
