GRAVITY Spin-Off Short Film ANINGAAQ by Jonas Cuaron
Alfonso Cuaron's son Jonas wrote and directed a six-minute short film called "Aningaaq." It's a Gravity spin-off film, and it focuses on the person on earth that Sandra Bullock's character talks to on the radio during a pivotal scene in the movie when she's trapped in the Russian space capsule with little hope of survival. The conversation included the sound of dogs and a crying baby. This short shows us the other end of that story, and it's shot really well. Jonas had this to say about it to THR,
"It's this moment where the audience and the character get this hope that Ryan is finally going to be OK. Then you realize that everything gets lost in translation."
Warner Bros. submitted the $100,000 budgeted short for Oscar consideration in the live-action short category. It would be kind of cool if Gravity won Best Picture and this won Best Short Film. Hope you enjoy it!
