the 15 minute mystical epic short
It's Planet of the Apes meets Sergei Paradjanov meets the Yellow Submarine. Meets Dune. The gnostic story weaves together Islam, Christianity and Judaism as it follows Sun Wu Kung the 4-D Monkey king on a spiritual journey fuelled by the Kwisatz Haderach machine, an alchemical device which allows the user to be in more than one place at a time. When the Technician sabotages the machine by injecting it with digital poison, their world suffers from strange artifacting, and exponential multiplication of events and characters. It is up to Sun Wu Kung to solve the problem. Is he a messiah or just another ape-man?

This is an amazing video, felt a bit like Alejandro Jodorowsky's "Holy Mountain", if I could compare to that. Not sure about "Dune" though.

Thanks! Stylistically, you're right, it may have more in common w/ Jodorowski, but the title is a term from Dune... if you haven't, its a good read.
