Rosa

An epic sci-fi short film that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where all natural life has disappeared. From the destruction awakes Rosa, a cyborg deployed from the Kernel project, mankind’s last attempt to restore the earth’s ecosystem. Rosa will soon learn that she is not the only entity that has awakened and must fight for her survival.

Made by Jesús Orellana, who works in the Spanish comic industry but harbors dreams of directing feature films.

His logic is simple: live action costs money while animation can be done on the cheap. He taught himself the programs and spent every waking moment designing his movie from his home in Barcelona. And he did it with zero budget.

This short has played at the Seattle International Film Festival, then SITGES, Screamfest, Toronto After Dark, among others.
