ON SUNDAY Is a Sci-Fi Short About an Old Man and His Dog Witnessing Something Incredible

"Who said nothing ever happens on Sunday?"

For me, Sundays end up being pretty uneventful days. They are mostly spent wishing that Monday wouldn't come. For the old man in this short film, a seemingly normal, relaxing Sunday turns out to be something extraordinary. The short is called "On Sunday," and this is the brief plot summary:

A man and his dog make their routine walk to the isolated clifftops of Cornwall...but this time they realise they're not so isolated after all.

In the story, they witness a UFO rise up from the ocean and shoot up into space. It's a simple story, but it's done really well. The film was directed by David Lea, who made the film on no budget. He explained his inspiration for the short in an e-mail that he sent to Firstshowing, saying:

"Way back in 1984 [my dad] hand built a cabin bed for my bedroom and underneath this, made from wood, flashing lights and copper piping, he'd constructed a spaceship cockpit… 31 years later I thought it was past time to repay the favour."

I hope you enjoy what he's created!
