Inspired by Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, we proudly present "The Lost Ones". In anticipation of the release of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, we wanted to explore and speculate on the journey of Senua between the events of the first and second games. From leaving Hel, to where we might find Senua in the opening moments of Senua's Saga. Our crew had been fans of Hellblade since its release in 2017, and after expressing our excitement for the upcoming sequel, we decided to create a short film together as a love letter to the series. Starring: Allison Dayne as Senua Michelle Pokopac as the Morrigan Blair Phillips as the Fomorian and Katie Nixon as Galena. With Furies: Megan Ciafre Marley Tressler Kristen Nielsen Katie Nixon Directed by Braden McClain So to Ninja Theory and the entire crew of the Hellblade series, we say, "Thank You."

Hi! My name is Adam Henry Garcia and I am an actor, video editor and producer. I have 4 Emmy's, 3 Indie Series Awards, 1 Webby, 1 Telly and a partridge in a pear tree. I love making independent streaming content which brings us to this submission: "Fairytale Fallout". It is a dark comedy show divided into parts and (hopefully) worth your valuable internet video watching time. Below is the official synopsis for the show. Thanks for taking a look!! -- Fairytale Fallout gives voice to numerous characters who have either been taken for granted or have been ignored entirely. In a series of short episodes this crafty and creative series tells the stories of those affected by classic fairytale characters, and not for the better. All of these characters are now, finally, being given the chance to speak... and they ALL have something to say. We are able to put names to faces that have barely been a background blur up until now and the results are downright dark-comedy gold! Filled with the bitter, the sweet, the high and the low... At the end of the day this show is a love letter to the ignored. An olive branch to the day player. A series for anyone who has ever felt relegated to the background of someone else's fairytale.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest

This short film was born from a simple idea: to create a story larger than its means. Though written by a human, the film was brought to life entirely through the use of artificial intelligence, from imagery to narration. By harnessing AI tools, the project transcended the traditional limits of budget and location, proving that meaningful storytelling is no longer confined by circumstance. This experiment is not about replacing the human voice, but amplifying it. PURPOSE invites viewers into a visual parable set against the unforgiving desert, a landscape that serves as a metaphor for the hardest seasons of life. Through subtext and intimate narration, the film explores the weight we carry, the unseen voices that depend on our journey, and the hope that persists even when answers remain beyond the horizon. This short film transforms the desertscape into a mirror of our existence, offering not resolution but reflection, a reminder that beyond hardship lies not triumph, but purpose.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest
