Here's an awesome fantasy steampunk style short film called The Wheel directed by John Robert. "This whimsical, visually imaginative tale concerns a dutiful young man, fated to maintain a large wheel that balances the entire world — and his rebellious sister who is determined to tempt that fate."
The short has been touring the film festival circuit, and ended up winning the Grand Jury Prize at the inaugural R3D Festival. It's very entertaining, and has a great visual style and narration that I think many of you will love.
