A PROMISE OF LIGHT

A Promise of Light is an epic fantasy short film about a young warrior named Sareen, who must venture across a vast dying planet in search of a way to save her people from a mysterious plague.

Inspired by the genius of visionaries such as Jim Henson, George Lucas and Peter Jackson, A Promise of Light is a grand adventure told with heart. The film features practical creature effects created by Matt Ficner who worked on The Thing (2011), Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and The Monster and stars Phoebe Galvan whose previous work includes Joss Whedon's The Cabin in the Woods.
