Directed by John Roberts and written by Ryan Plato, The Wheel is a wonderfully stylized short film about a sibling rivalry with potentially apocalyptic consequences. Holster was raised to maintain the Wheel that keeps the world running, but his sister Ellie grew up jealous of her brother’s sense of purpose. Their story, told in metered rhyme, shows what happens when the siblings grow up and Ellie feels it’s her turn to control the Wheel.
