A Sci-Fi Dramatic Short


THE RING OF LIGHT

An unnamed, anonymous woman works in an empty, authoritarian society in a menial job. One day, she sees a vision of a young woman in a world of color. This woman is smiling and radiant, tempting the worker to join her.

After this sighting, the worker is promoted by her boss to a new position, where she is entrusted with the most valuable item in this society. She asks about what she saw but is told to ignore it and focus on the job.

Directed and written by Maxfield Cooper Smith, starring Katie Mumford, Tom Martin, and Anastasiia Bannikova - this stylized sci-fi dramatic short evokes the stories of Franz Kafka in its juxtaposition of the mundane and the surreal. Its visual style is minimalistic, stripped down to a set of simple yet potently suggestive symbols that evoke a soulless, emotionally barren world, shot in elegantly sculpted yet foreboding black-and-white cinematography ...

Yet it is emotionally recognizable to anyone who has felt deadened by the world around them, at odds with dominant values and longing to find a realm that offers freedom, lightness and joy. In choosing the unknown path, the ultimate hope is meeting our truest selves.
