Synopsis:
Phantastes is a classic tale by Scottish author and minister George MacDonald, ​and YC Web brings you the FIRST film adaptation of this forgotten classic, a steampunk fantasy rock musical about young Anodos and his crossing over the border to a supernatural world. You Connection presents a surreal, grungy allegory of the unseen battle between angels and demons, as well as a self-referential defense of the (sometimes controversial) use of fantasy and fairy tale elements to present the Gospel message. Part of a series of George MacDonald films on YC Web! Though You Connection may not agree with all aspects of George MacDonald's personal theology, he was nevertheless a groundbreaking pioneer in Christian fiction and influencer of later Christian writers such as C.S. Lewis, Oswald Chambers, and J.R.R. Tolkien, and we are thrilled to produce updated versions of his works for a brand new audience!
