Good Morning Stonus follows the hapless Stonus (John Leigh), who finds himself accidentally drafted into an interplanetary battle, when all he wanted was a free breakfast. Lord Kasimir (Daniel Pujol) has gathered his army of quirky soldiers to prepare to meet the fearsome warlord’s forces. Stonus quickly realises he is woefully underprepared and under-equipped — to make matters worse, he’s already missed the breakfast. Directed by filmmaker and artist Christian Nicolson (This Giant Papier Mâché Boulder is Actually Really Heavy), this sci-fi comedy short embraces a playful, lo-fi look, featuring handcrafted costumes.
This is it my friends, it is here we must make our stand! The warlord's army has arrived, his henchman, Brutus, is leading them towards our position and will be upon us before the next centon.– Lord Kasimir (Daniel Pujol) briefs his soldiers before battle
