Ascension

Directed by Jamie Buckner · Starring Chris Shanklin, Mindy Heithaus, Jenn Owen, Jackie Golsch · 2006

In the early 20th century, two mountaineers haul a heavy statue of the Virgin Mary toward a mountain summit, and every step of the climb tests their strength, teamwork and luck.

A beautifully animated slapstick climb where gravity, faith and one very heavy statue keep colliding.

Check out this skillfully crafted, and funny CGI Animated short film by the talented Thomas Bourdis, Martin de Coudenhove, Caroline Domergue, Colin Laubry and Florian Vecchione.
