Good god, I wish I had more to bring you than just this poster, trailer and extremely vague plot synopsis but from the looks of other sites, that’s about all that’s going around. In truth, this isn’t even a trailer as much as it’s a cool short that may or may not even be indicative of things to come.
Plug comes from production designer, David Levy, who is known for design work done for Tron: Legacy and the game Assassin’s Creed. What happens when he sets out of his own to make a sweet movie? A cross between a Daft Punk video and The Road Warrior. From the Steambot Studios site:
PLUG is a short film produced by Steambot studios that will be sold as a book DVD package. It will include a beautiful 48 pages making of art book, and a DVD with the short film lasting 15 minutes and also more than 45 minutes of making -of and behind the scene. Written by David Levy and Hatem Benabdallah, directed by David Levy, a prominent concept artist in the entertainment industry, this short film combines a strong storyline, unique visuals and landscapes all this running at high speed aboard fast machines.
According to the website:
Leila, a spunky twenty year old on a quest for other life forms, finds her survival in jeopardy when she succeeds…

This looks great for an independent project.
Hopefully it won’t suffer from being overly ambitious.

This looks gorgeous. Is it weird to have a crush on a robot?
