I can't believe I never posted this here.

The announcement is that The 12 Minute Project was novelized and renamed FINAL EXPLORATION.

In 2220, searching alien ruins turns up no life. Again. But while Alan Burston is convinced he found nothing, something has found him. It searches his mind and finds our racial memory, seeking to understand who we are. In ten stories, we see what it discovers.

Beginning in 2010, it learns 200 years of history, a time when an entire world goes from the superpower of all species to a fallen society.

The vignette started as a school project in 2007, and along with my short story "Radical Conclusion", inspired the movie. The discussion was very favorable, provided we could find a great CG person. The 5-minute piece is graphics intensive, which was the goal of the school project, but critical to the story.
