There has been a great deal of buzz for Jesus Orellana’s cyberpunk animation Rosa over the past few months. The independently animated short made a huge impression with a series of trailers and clips and now the short is online to watch for free. The short-film was created entirely by comic-artist Jesús Orellana. Wihtout a budget he completed the short within the span of a year using consumer-grade equipment. The film 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.
Since it’s world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival, Rosa has been an official selection at film festivals around the world and has since attracted the attention of the major talent-agencies and Hollywood producers. Currently Rosa is in development to be a live-action motion picture.
