Overview

When the president (and his robot wife) beckons you to the future, would you answer the call? Avalon asks what it means to seek personal fulfillment in a tech-filled world of instant gratification through a young man’s first days working at a teleportation agency. This film is crewed by a dedicated team of film students at the University of Alabama, and has a host of talent and experience behind it.

The Story

Avalon is a low-budget sci-fi film, set in a near future where all planes, trains, and cars have been abolished. To replace them, the national government is implementing the new public transportation: teleporters. The young idealist John Anderson is a new hire at the department of transportation, and he’s excited to usher in a new era. The only thing standing between John and his vision of the future? The world’s wackiest middle-management, and the realization that maybe the future isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. 

Inspired by Brazil and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Avalon uses a zany future setting to explore a timeless story about the places we look for greater purpose.

 

The Crew

 

Nathan Stephenson is the writer and director of Avalon. He is a senior majoring in Creative Media at the University of Alabama and minoring in music. He currently works as a student producer for the Center for Public Television on campus and has been a part of many student films. When he isn’t working, he is probably writing music or playing the French Horn. Sometimes he writes scripts. They often end up being comedies. Usually it's intentional.

 

Seth Farmer is Avalon’s director of photography, bringing the images to life. He is a professional director and producer at the University of Alabama Center for Public Television, and has produced several video projects there.

 

Kylie Long is the producer of Avalon. She is a senior majoring in Creative Media at the University of Alabama.
