In the dazzling sci-fi short film ECHO TORCH, a inventor perfects a mysterious machine that has the ability to illuminate specters from the past.

Bathed in the machine's cerulean light, the inventor (James Fitzgerald) embarks on an odyssey through the past, encountering entities that are familiar, unearthly, and deeply personal.

ECHO TORCH is the latest flight of fancy from filmmaker Chris Preksta, whose retro-cool sci-fi web series The Mercury Men is an outstanding example of the best the medium has to offer.

With his latest project, Preksta once again demonstrates his uncanny ability to craft compelling speculative narratives using the nostalgia evoked by eras gone by.
