Desert Sky | Film Threat

“Writer-director David Hartstone’s new age science-fantasy, Desert Sky, concerns the exploits of a young woman named Sky (Lexa Gluck) in a magic-filled futuristic landscape. Sky, her mother-in-law Ouma (Cammie Middleton), and son Ziah (Riley Looc) hide out in the desert in the shadow of a monstrous purple city run by Sky’s father. This short is seriously focused on the magic, referred to as “the wild.” Sky and Ouma are at various stages of mastering it. To be gifted with magic, we learn you must have “the wild” in you.

The story begins as Sky attempts her first powerful spell, the love star. Unfortunately, and to her regret, casting it brings her ex, and Ouma’s son, Rayf (Ezekiel Ajeigbe), out looking for her. Sky apparently is a fugitive of her father’s city, who desperately wants his grandson back. Obviously, this creates a bad situation all around. Also, once a fugitive, you’re constantly on the run.”
