More About Sky Fighter:
In the 26th century: humankind fights a war in space against an unstoppable alien adversary. A pilot, John, awakens on the deck of his two-man fighter-bomber spaceship—with no memory how he got there. His copilot, Mo, tells him he was hacked (via his cybernetics) by the aliens, and she tried to save him...yet evidence on the ship points to HER being the one possessed by the enemy. Should he trust her...or the little memory he regains?
Director's Statement:
"This is a take on space warfare I've always loved (Star Wars, Robotech, Battlestar Galactica) with a Twilight Zone/Black Mirror/Memento twist. (Robotech fans: you'll recognize the voice on the radio.) Hopefully there's something to make you feel, make you think—and give you some candy for your eyes and ears. It's bread-and-butter suspense storytelling, grounding the fantastic in relatable human behavior. There is a moral to the story...but I can't give it away without ruining the ending." —Lukas Kendall

The amount of tension and world building in less than 15 minutes is simply astounding. Absolutely amazing, fantastic job
-
The "FU-!" at the end with the orchestral climax was good. It took the edge off the tragedy and was somehow more fun sci-fi.
-
Great film the actress was perfect it's hard to believe all story was contained in so little time. I came away feeling as if an hour had passed.
-
500 years in the future someone will see this and laugh at what we in the 21st century thought the 26th century would look like.

Nobody: My alarm clock every morning: “ you gotta get back up”
-
This video had more twists than a rollercoaster
-
Just goes to show, you can do a lot with a little. One set, some computer graphics, a couple good actors and a solid story tightly packed into a 15 minute clip.
-
I didn't need to see Memento in space but hey I sat through the whole fifteen minutes and was not bored. This was a well-directed, professional effort. Thumbs up Lukas.

Everybody should try this at home: paint your windshield black, install a monitor in front of the steering wheel that shows a third-person view of your own car, it will enhance your driving skills.

“Get up. When life knocks you down you gotta get back up” Sounds like a gatorade ad

“Ghost hacked humans are so pathetic, it’s a shame” -Batou (Ghost in the Shell:1995)

The key takeaway from this story for me is that the more we connect to anything, the more it has power over us to control ourselves
-
I feel so bad for the girl, she was telling the truth
-
This is some seriously high quality stuff right there, ever considered a full length movie?
-
The voice is Ben Dixon of the original Robotech!!!!!! I know that voice anywhere!!! Nice!! Huge Robotech fan here!!
-
0:00 Video: "In the 26th century..." Me: "There's only war"
-
truth often looks like a lie ...
-
Pilot: Jerks yoke hard right, hard right rudder. Ship: continues flying straight and level.
-
I can't belive how good this is : You never know what to trust when........
-
Both of these performances were really strong.
