The Long Dig is a short film that plays into a bigger world without leaving the viewer in the dark. The film acts as a live-action intro to the Aeronauts tabletop game universe. Written by Kate Hackett and director, Tom R. Pike, The Long Dig is a science-fiction fantasy adventure that delivers. Not to be confused with the Amazon Prime original film The Aeronauts, this role-playing game from Electric Purple Studios takes place in a world covered not in white, fluffy clouds, but a mysterious purple mist filled with horrors. The Aeronauts are those who dare to rise above the purple haze, where a new world is emerging. Players determine whether they will take on the role of altruistic diplomats looking to unite the members of an emerging civilization or those who dwell below where survival is the name of the game. The Long Dig chooses to spend its 15-minute quest with a group of outcasts who escape the mist for a time by going underground to scavenge for supplies.

Sci-Fi Short The Long Dig Now Viewable On Fangirl Nation

Aernoauts is a tabletop game from Electric Purple Studios that will be released some time in the future (a specific date hasn’t been revealed). But you can get an introduction to the game’s post-apocalyptic world right now, thanks to The Long Dig, a new short premiering soon on Fangirl Nation. The short is mainly the creation of Kate Hackett, a multi-talented actress and writer who’s been performing since age 4. She’s worked on several independent films and most recently created, wrote and starred in the Amazon series Classic Alice. Eve (Hackett) scours decaying old ruins for Antenoch technology that was buried or otherwise preserved. Having – she hopes – perfected a mixture of oils that will prevent the decay of Antenoch artifacts, Eve is equipped to safely remove them from these ruins. Today, she’s found an old transportation hub, perhaps a subway, haunted by monsters and hiding treasure. It is an adventure in darkness, with flashes of fear and bursts of action, about one woman’s desperate desire to return home.
