View fullsize

"POLIS" is a sci-fi thriller that is set in the distant future. The story follows a young man with telepathic powers who is searching for his mother. The government is also looking for her because she poses a threat to "reveal a utopian society’s horrifying secrets." They want to stop her, and they are using her son's telepathic brain to try and find her.

The short film was directed by Steven Ilous, and it won the Defy Media and New Regency Prototype competition. This gives him and the rest of the creative team the opportunity to develop their short film into a full-length feature film.

When you watch the film, you'll see why it won. It has great production value, and what seems to be a great story from a solid story concept. The design work is also extremely cool looking.
