There, she accidentally awakens a giant robot buried under the Twin Piton mountains on the south of the Island. This robot seems compelled to protect Saint Lucia but his origins are mysterious. No one knows where he came from or how long he\u2019s been there. During the many years he\u2019s lain dormant, The Mighty Grand Piton, became nothing more than the stuff of legend. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-v-b402eb9f><!--[--><\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><span>\/\u00a0<\/span>WHERE IT STARTED<\/h2>\n<h3><span>The Short<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><!--[--><\/p>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"2318\" height=\"1373\"><figcaption><em>\/<\/em> The doodle that started it all&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"2304\" height=\"2633\"><figcaption><em>\/<\/em> Concept piece for the short film<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!--]--><\/div>\n<div><!--&gt;\n\n<div>\n\n<div>[--><\/p>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1248\"><!--&gt;<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"3193\" height=\"1448\">\n \n<figcaption><em>\/<\/em> Twin Pitons, St Lucia<\/figcaption>\n \n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"8018\" height=\"4624\">\n \n<figcaption><em>\/<\/em> Rodney Bay, St Lucia<\/figcaption>\n \n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"4859\" height=\"2660\">\n \n<figcaption><em>\/<\/em> St Lucian Landscape at Sunset<\/figcaption>\n \n<\/figure>\n\n]--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><span>\/\u00a0<\/span>THE SHORT<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>The short film is the brainchild of Wesley Louis, whose parents were born in Saint Lucia before moving to the UK.

Our story unfolds against the lush, tropical backdrop of St. Lucia. Beneath the idyllic swaying palms and turquoise waters, where life moves at a slower pace and is steeped in vibrant traditions. Where the elders play dominos to foster connection and the youth fill the air with music, from soca and zouk to country and western. <\/p>\n<p>However, the island&#8217;s beauty holds a secret that blurs the lines between St Lucian folklore and the intergalactic mysteries of the universe. This is a place where science, nature and magic intertwine to deliver otherworldly technology, complex relationships and an unseen before combination of visuals.<\/p>\n<p>We have a multi-step strategy in getting this film funded and we\u2019re working with some great people who are helping us make this dream a reality!
