Ray Ashford has ventured beyond the endlessness of the cosmos as part of a team of space explorers. They are all on a mission to find a planet that would support human life after earth has been rendered useless for the job. While the premise in itself echoes several endeavors of the genre with similar preoccupations, the film does its bit to conjure uniqueness, and should be appreciated for the same. 
Despite the set-up of a remote corner of the universe and a lone warrior aboard a sterile, silent ship, the core motivations of the film remain simple and direct - love and the desire to build a home. It is precisely these sentiments that propel the narrative forward. 
The film marks a seminal and hopefully first of the many attempts along the path of finding his voice by the young filmmaker, Blake Simon. The storytelling exhibits potential and leaves the viewer with the promise of more.

Goldilocks | Short Film of the Day

Who does not love a well-written satire that aims to dismantle the monolithic idea of heroism associated with white men that continues to erase and overlook the bloody history that constitutes its foundation? Or simply put, if you have led yourself to this mockumentary of a film, consider it a wise decision. Artfully constructed with slapstick comedy of the misadventures of two nineteenth century explorers, the film is a treat that serves a dual purpose - draw your attention to several problematic aspects of society, while also providing a lighthearted break from the said society and its problems. The chemistry between it's only two actors is the main character of the film, a narrative marked by the source material in the form of citations and sources that await the viewer at the end. Of course their sacrosanct authenticity further helps to drive the message home - a powerful, relevant comment in the garb of humour. The film keeps you engaged and entertained throughout, while also leaving you with the desire for more and the door open with the promise of subsequent chapters in the story. Here's an important history lesson, make sure to not miss it.
