The Cartographer of Light

A dialogue-free fantasy short about a lone cartographer who follows a lantern through a chain of impossible landscapes: a mirrored stone arch, a blue-lit cavern, a submerged cathedral, a city above the clouds, a crystal forest, and a snowbound summit. As the journey unfolds, the map becomes less a record of places than a way of connecting them. At sunrise, the cartographer discovers that the path was leading back to the light she carried all along. Human-directed and edited as an AI-assisted short film.
