Short Pick Of The Day: ‘The Mighty Grand Piton’ by Wesley Louis

“A young English girl, Connie, who travels to the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia for her school holidays with her family. There, she accidentally awakens a giant robot buried under the Twin Piton mountains on the south of the Island. This robot seems compelled to protect Saint Lucia but his origins are mysterious. No one knows where he came from or how long he’s been there. During the many years he’s lain dormant, The Mighty Grand Piton, became nothing more than the stuff of legend.”

Created and directed by Wesley Louis, U.K., 2019. Produced at The Line.
