This short film is, as the title suggests, a prelude to a feature length serving to both give an idea of what it’s about and try to pick up some funding on the festival circuit. It follows Tahani (Anusha Prakash) and her little brother Icarus (Anthony Miles), exiles from the once heavenly world of The Grey Realm now beset with a war between good and evil, travelling across dimensions to Earth to prevent the machinations of seven evil Gods, including Lucifer (who was an angel, but whatever). These Gods plan to use the devastating energy source ‘Okora’ generated by their mortal descendants and their sins to win the war for The Grey Realm once for all. However, a prophecy also speaks...

Hartford, Conn. -- Hubert "Hub" Schlafly, a key member of the team that invented the teleprompter and rescued decades' worth of soap opera actors, newscasters and politicians from the embarrassment of stumbling over their words on live television, has died. He was 91.
Schlafly died April 20 at Stamford Hospital after a brief illness, according the Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home, which handled the arrangements. A funeral was held Tuesday at St. Mary Parish in Greenwich, where he was a longtime resident.
He did not use a teleprompter himself until he was 88, while rehearsing his speech for induction into the Cable Television Hall of Fame, said Thomas Gallagher, a close friend.
Schlafly helped start the TelePrompTer Corp., eventually becoming its president and accepting an Emmy Award for the company in 1999 – a few years after winning one himself 1992 for his work in developing the first cable system permitting subscribers to order special programs.
