DUST has released a fantastic new sci-fi short film for you to watch called Cradle. The movie centers on a man who is haunted by his tragic past. He returns to the scene where this terrible event took place, and he's determined to try to travel back in time to fix things. It's an inventive short where less is more.

I won't give anything away, but I will say that even though the story is vague, it has a great satisfying ending! Also if the name Dante Basco sounds familiar to you, it's because it's the guy who played Rufio in Hook! Enjoy the film!
