FLITE
Dir. Tim Webber
/ @framestoreofficial
In London 2053, a world champion hoverboarder finds herself imprisoned in a luxury skyscraper apartment by her controlling manager. With the help of a well-meaning stranger she engineers an ingenious high-rise escape but soon finds herself riding for her life.
"FLITE is a film I’ve been eagerly awaiting for much of 2023. Rare is it that a short film trailer drop feels like an event, but, back in May, FLITE got that treatment from the Hollywood Reporter, and in-depth writeups in specialized industry publications soon followed. This is not the norm, but not every short film can claim an Oscar-winning VFX Supervisor as its director, someone whose fingerprints are all over several of the most beloved and acclaimed films of the 21st century.
Tim Webber is that director, and also the Chief Technology Officer of the VFX powerhouse Framestore. The former Oxford Physics student has pioneered some of the approaches we now bundle under the umbrella of “virtual production” in his career, perhaps most notably on the 2013 Alfonso Cuarón film Gravity, and now applies that expertise to his own turn in the director’s chair" - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi

  • The only plot hole is the jetpack cop taking her away from the bridge when his vehicle was on the bridge. Essential to the escape and entire setup in foreshadow, but maybe a different way to connect the beautiful & exciting bridge scene to the climax. Maybe simple as an audio overlay with the cop saying he’s bringing her directly back Jones, w/Jones expressing victory and threat to Stevie. Gareth needed more lines. 😊. Otherwise no notes. Stunningly good.
