The Human Race Faces Extinction in AYAME Short Featuring John Hurt

View fullsize

I’ve got an awesome proof of concept short film for you to watch today that was directed by Conor Maloney. It’s called Ayamé and it stars Laura Graham and the voice of John Hurt. Here's the brief story summary:

An impending disaster looms. Facing total extinction, a military operation turns to the stars in order to relocate the entire human race. During the exodus, one man is sent to rescue his former comrade after she mysteriously disappears while executing a covert operation off world.

The short has some stunning visuals, and I love the design work. There’s a lot of potential here, and I’d love to see how this story plays out.
