“Library” was fully funded by a Seed&Spark campaign. As part of that campaign, the cast and crew assembled for a single night shoot to film what we called a ‘prologue’ – an even shorter film exploring the history leading up to the events in the main film. This prologue was released on vimeo and can be viewed here.

Reviews

“Amazing film! I was captivated from the first scene. Poetic and suspenseful – this film will stay with you long after the credits roll!”

Melissa M.

“The writing, directing, acting, editing, and color correction were all brilliant… one of the best short films I’ve ever seen.”

“Through a key combination of engaging main characters, an immersive score, and inventive world building, ‘The Library at the End of the Universe’ draws you in and doesn’t let go until the credits roll. It left me wanting more, which I consider high praise for the wonderful cast and crew that brought this world to life.”
