Have you ever been drawn to something without knowing exactly why? That’s the magic of Steampunk—it often finds you before you even realize you’ve been searching for it. Whether through its intricate designs, stories of rebellion and innovation, or its unique blend of history and imagination, Steampunk speaks to those who see the world not just as it is, but as it could be. This was the case for Tony Venezia, a filmmaker whose award-winning short film unintentionally references Steampunk.
