A Soldier Seeks Immortality in Must Watch Epic Fantasy Short Film THE ROCK OF AGES

I’ve got a fantastic epic fantasy short film here for you to watch today. It’s titled The Rock of Ages and the story centers on a lost soldier on the run. While fleeing for his life, the soldier comes across a cunning talking rock who promises to grant the soldier his deepest desire, but “as always with these bargains, there’s a catch...”

The film was written and directed by Eron Sheean, and he offered some insight on his film, saying:

“The Rock of Ages is a surreal black comedy, a thought-provoking mutant love child of Jim Henson, Terry Gilliam, and Ingmar Bergman (if he were high on painkillers). It tells the story of a lost Soldier (Tómas Lemarquis) and his encounter with a cunning talking rock (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) who promises him immortality. But as always with these bargains, there’s a catch. I was inspired to create a surreal fable that explores the hubris of humankind—both our fleeting existence in the face of nature, and our unwillingness to abide by its ancient rules.”

This is a wonderfully made film with a beautiful, yet eerie landscape and it was inspired by Iceland’s folklore. I enjoyed the hell out of this short film, and hope you like it as well!
