Experiencing Interruptions?

Solar Heart

Set in an imaginative control room inside the sun, the film depicts a man who has the weight of the worlds on his shoulders (quite literally) and must overcome a metaphorical journey to come to terms with his self-inflicted isolation.

Director Statement

The film is about the heavy weight of responsibilities. We wanted to create a situation where all the world's responsibilities weigh on one man's shoulders. It's supposed to be a little bit quirky since the premise is a man living in the sun. So we tried to make it fun and engaging.
