Prelude to Eden

A highly stylized short film which whimsically illustrates the short sliver of time between the "Big Bang" and the present. The exhilarating visuals and powerful score transcend the spoken word, and show us that elemental conflicts in the universe have more to do with our own existence than we would like to admit.
