[WE RECOMMEND] The Madness of Chartrulean

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Presenting an episode from The Madness of Chartrulean:


Prologue “GHOSTS FROM THE PAST”


Battling aliens, cosmic forces, and his own sanity, a failed messiah asks: at what point does supreme power lead from salvation to ruin? 


The Madness of Chartrulean is a political science fantasy epic about the use—and misuse—of technology as a means to advance society. The story crawls into the troubled mind of a misunderstood messiah against the thematic backdrops of religion, war, politics, and ecology. Praised for its cinematic sound design and sprawling story, the series features a score by award-winning composer Sean Renner (Hulu's Das Boot) and a cast led by 2023 Ambies nominee Aud Andrews.


The Kickstarter for season 2 is underway, and we'd love your support! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/packhowl/the-madness-of-chartrulean-vol-2

Nothing has been heard from the Mars colony since before Earth went silent. Maybe… Maybe they all died too. And all I will find is their bones. I could be the last. The last human. (beat) I cannot stay. (calls) TROST?


(TROST entry beep)


TROST

Chaika.


CHAIKA

Could you… Um, could you prepare the shuttle?

Affirmative. Long or short range journey?

Oh, long. Very long.
