Grounded is an award winning short film with a science fiction theme that is sure to make you think about the film’s message. The film’s creator, Kevin Margo, describes it as One astronaut’s journey through space and life ends on a hostile exosolar planet. Grounded is a metaphorical account of the experience, inviting unique interpretation and reflection by the viewer. Themes of aging, inheritance, paternal approval, cyclic trajectories, and behaviors passed on through generations are explored against an ethereal backdrop. The part I liked best was seeing the lush green grass meeting the hostile dry desert.
