Set in the deserts of 1935, a pilot finds himself in a place that is ready to destroy all ambitious men. Written and directed by Andrew De Zen, “Oasis” poetically moves back and forth between live-action and animation throughout the story, and the transition into the first animated sequence in particular is quite lovely.
Watch the film above, and full credits are below the BTS images.
