The Life and Death of Tommy Chaos & Stacey Danger (10:09)
Amazon; IMDb; KQED; Michael Lukk Litwak; PBS; Short of the Week; shortfil.ms; Vimeo

The title characters meet on a battlefield, where humans are at war with alien dinosaurs (with frickin' lasers) that have invaded Earth. They immediately decide to leave together, to have a series of thrilling (and surreal) adventures... including falling in love. Of course, they'd both had their own adventures before meeting, so they had a lot to talk about (though we hear more from a narrator than we do from them). And... I don't know what else to say without spoiling anything. But it's definitely an interesting little film, with an old-school pulp adventure serial vibe. I could definitely see myself loving a feature film or TV/web series based on these characters.
