Project Sunshine
short film 2022
A fearless young woman raised by extraterrestrial life must sew a winning outfit for a galaxy-wide fashion competition in order to return to her home planet before the sweltering orb she is deserted on collides with the sun.
Clover, a creative young space treasure hunter seeking adventure, wakes up after crashing her spaceship on an unknown desert-like planet. She is surrounded by dunes, rocky mountains, and canyons, with no way of returning home to her family and best friend Jane. While she is gathering supplies and looking for resources to fix her spaceship, Clover comes across a poster advertising a galaxy-wide fashion competition.
Before she makes it back to her spaceship, a fiery orb flies down from the cotton candy-like sky, almost hitting her and using what is left of her spaceship and gadgets, she calculates that the planet she is on is headed directly into the sun!
Clover returns to her spaceship and realizes she must win the fashion competition’s grand prize, a jet-pack, and a new space-suit, in order to survive. Clover starts to sketch and piece an outfit together with any materials she can dig up in her spaceship and find on the desert planet, all while jamming out to her “end of the world” mixtape.
After several hours of hard work, Clover enters the competition, but she realizes that her motivation was not to survive or her dreams of becoming the galaxy's best treasure hunter and explorer, but her best friend Jane.
