In Box Summer Sci-fi SHORT Film Festival continues with “AT-AT Day Afternoon”

The In Box’s Summer sci-fi film festival continues with another teeny-tiny gem, this one clocking in at just over a minute.

George Lucas’s Star Wars saga reinvented science fiction and film making.

I’ve read that Patrick Boivin, the director of this short, grew up wanting a dog…and a toy At-At “Imperial Walker” tank first introduced in “Empire Strikes Back.”

He combined those desires into this bit of wish fulfillment.  And just so I don’t seem like I’m being too highbrow, I’ll point out that there’s an awesome bit of dog-poop humor, too.

The curtain rises!

Here’s a look at what Lucas’s (far less interesting) AT-AT’s are like in action.

The In Box sci fi film festival continues tomorrow with a film from Uruguay about an attack by giant robots! Ah, summer…
