A landlocked lighthouse keeper.
A beautiful mermaid.
And a buccaneer named Traction Jack.
“Landlocked and Lovelorn” is a cinematic animated fantasy adventure created to showcase The EZ-Walk / SandPad Cane and Crutch Pads — an all-terrain mobility solution designed for canes and crutches on sand, grass, gravel, dirt, snow, and uneven terrain.
Inspired by classic adventure films, fairy tales, and swashbuckling pirate epics, this short film blends romance, humor, imagination, and all-terrain mobility into a larger-than-life animated journey and pure escapist chaos into one ridiculous love story.
Featuring:
⚓ Pirates
🧜♀️ Mermaids
🏝️ Beaches and storms
🩼 All-terrain mobility
🌊 Adventure and romance
😂 Comedy
🎬 Cinematic animation
Whether you use mobility aids yourself or just appreciate independent filmmaking and strange ideas brought to life… welcome aboard.
Writer, Producer and Director: Jerry Vasilatos
AI Animator – Lennard Smith / Hyperspace Stories
