Because sci-fi is just better when it's Victorian, apparently. Yes, I have a weakness for steampunk in general and if director Azhur Saleem has his way I'll soon have a weakness for The Marionette Unit in particular. Set in an alternate Victorian-era London in which steam driven technology has developed at a ferocious rate and all creative endeavors are strictly government controlled, the film revolves around a dancer struggling to be freed from the machine which controls her movements on stage.
Though the film has not yet entered principal photography - the producers have adopted the micro-finance approach to things, which means they're looking for a bunch of individuals too chip in small amounts of money to back the thing - they have posted a large series of very impressive concept art pieces on their website along with a two minute proof of concept teaser. And there's no doubt at all that these guys can shoot good looking film. Check it below.
