Computer technician Jack Fletcher is no hero, despite his unwelcome reputation as one. In fact, he’s just been the victim of bizarre circumstances. Like now. His sister happens to disturb one of his nanoelectromechanical system experiments, and now they aren’t where they’re supposed to be. In fact, they’re not sure where they are when…
…they wake up to see a woman with the reddest hair Jack has ever seen-and a gun. Octavia Pye is an Aerocorps captain with a whole lot of secrets, and she’s not about to see her maiden voyage ruined by stowaways. But the sparks flying between her and Jack just may cause her airship to combust and ignite a passion that will forever change the world as she knows it…
Ooh, this steampunk horror movie looks CREEPY! Imagine a world where humans are turned into living puppet slaves – complete with “marionette” wires mounted into their backs.
The movie is still in development as producers try to raise more funding. Visit the official site for more information.
This film is set in an alternate Victorian England, a world where steam-punk technology has developed rapidly and in a world where all creativity, art and individual expression is state-controlled. The Marionette Unit is a theatre show where machine and human have been fused together. A musical machine that resembles a twisted tortured church organ, run with valves, steam and electricity, is connected by a mass of electrical cables to three ballet dancers, who have the wires fused into their bodies. The dancers are controlled by the machine much to the amazement of the Victorian audience.
We follow the story of Smith, an enigmatic character connected to an underground society of artists, hunted by the police. He has come to watch the prize ballet dancer, Georgette try and escape the wired clutches of The Marionette Unit. Will she be able to wrestle free and escape with Smith, or will she succumb to the powerful forces that hold her captive? What follows is a stunning and imaginative display of the human spirit fighting to be set free.

These costumes are made by Twin Roses Designs. They have an awesome selection of custom costumes, with an entire category dedicated to Victorian fashion.
The Steampunk Santa Claus costume includes:
Steampunk Santa Hat: Based on early 20th century aviator hats, this hat is made from red pleather and completely lined with white velboa short pile faux fur.
Steampunk Santa Coat: Based on a 1910 pattern for a military trench coat, this unlined organic cotton chili pepper colored double-breasted coat features 12 gold tone metal buttons, back vent, two large external pockets, and buttons and tabs at each sleeve. White velboa short pile faux fur makes up the uniquely styled collar and the facings in each cuff and inside each side of the center front. The Steampunk Santa coat is shown here with cuffs turned back to show the facings.
Santa Breeches: Made from chili pepper colored organic cotton twill to match the coat above, these unlined button fly breeches are based on 1910 military style breeches with wide thighs, and are slender at the calf and ankles – just right for fitting into spats or gaiters!
Gaiters (or spats): Made from black pleather, these 1910 style gaiters are fully lined with cotton twill, and snap up the side with eleven nickel snaps.

He has steampunk gadgets and furniture throughout his home, including copper dog bowls and water filtration system, a steampunk entertainment system, telephone, thermometer, and numerous pieces of clever artwork. I can’t help but thinkg that this house would be a great place to film a movie.
