Electric Purple Studios presents and Aureate Films Production and Kate Hackett Productions Film: The Long Dig.

In a world covered in mysterious purple mist, a series of powerful city-states have built high enough so that they are not constantly dealing with the hallucinogenic properties of said mist.  Airships fly above and trade is exploding. However, there are cultures below the mist and the possibility of war.  The film is based on the game Aeronauts.  In this setting, The Long Dig features a crew hunting the old civilizations to try and find technology within the Mist. Within an old transportation hub, Eve searches for these treasures while desperately hoping to find a way back home.

The Long Dig has definitely has cued my curiosity about the game Aeronauts.  While the film is fairly short, its easy to get sucked into the story from the very beginning and stay engaged until the dramatic end.  While films like this often end up labeled and ignored as simply “fan films,” The Long Dig is much better produced and acted than a great deal of the modern indie movies I’ve seen as of late. Kate Hackett commands the screen as Eve, and the emotions of this crew are palatable.  The basic survival chant of “three square meals” is heart breaking, as its easy to imagine the crew as real people struggling to survive and hoping to get one major tech score so they can go home. The divide between the folks who live above, and those who spend their time in tunnels is quite clear; when you spend a good deal of time underground, you can see things very differently from those above the mist. For the budget and timing, the sets are great, the graphics entertaining, and the costuming on point. The Long Dig is definitely worth a watch (or three).

The Long Dig features Director Tom R. Pike, and was written by Kate Hatchett and Tom R. Pike.
