Heartless: The Story of the Tin Man


Here we have Heartless: The Story of the Tin Man
Now I know....not strictly speaking science fiction....but then, all the elements are there. Yeah, maybe the overall story is a fantasy tale, but let's let this little piece of brilliance be judged on it's own merits. It is exceedingly well done and is a quiet sad tale that is guaranteed to touch your heart. My hat is off to director Brandon McCormick. I found this rather indirectly on Vimeo.com where there is a great selection of just about anything you can imagine. Enjoy

You are very welcome Anon, I suggest you take a look at the making of film for Heartless. In the original text, there is a back story very much like this movie. Which makes the Wizard of OZ even more poignant -
