This ambitious short – commissioned by 20th Century Fox – bridges the 10 year gap between Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and its sequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It was created to expand the Apes universe and tell a new and original story within the films timeline.
When a viral pandemic with no known cure swept the globe, only humans immune to ‘Simian Flu’ survived. Those who remained witnessed the destruction of society as we know it. The Gun charts this devastation by tracing the journey of a shotgun, from owner to owner, in a world torn apart by the virus.
The film won Gold at the British Arrows Awards and Silver at the Creative Circle Awards!
The film was commissioned by 20th Century Fox to be part of the promotional material for their Planet of the Apes movie franchise.
