ROCKETSHIP is a very touching 15-minute family drama in which an unlikely bond is forged between a lonely boy and an elderly man claiming to be a former astronaut. Together, they transform a vintage vacuum cleaner into a rocketship for a surprising journey. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux137's LINK

That was pretty good. I loved the whimsical creations in Braddock's workshop. The film felt almost like it was part of a larger piece. I'd love to see it expanded into a feature length film with more character development. A thematically similar film is 'Rocket Gibraltar' (1988), which starred Burt Lancaster in one of his final roles. It has nothing to do with rockets or vacuum cleaners but everything to do with the relationship between an old man and his grandchildren, who are misunderstood by the generation in between as they set out to give him a Viking funeral.
