That\u2019s what I get from the trailer, in any case. This is the work of writer\/director Marco Kalantari (<em>Ainoa<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a complete synopsis, via <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.indiewire.com\/theplaylist\/tribeca-exclusive-epic-trailer-for-sci-fi-the-shaman-20150311\" target=\"_blank\">Indiewire\u2019s The Playlist, which also premiered the trailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/io9.com\/this-short-movie-about-an-endless-future-war-looks-unsp-1690857042\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out the trailer for The Shaman, a new short film debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival.
