A Flight to Mars

In 1972, there was a possibility of going to Mars. What if that happened and what if there was a woman who was brave enough to push us to go to Mars? This film explores that through the story of our NASA engineer, Addison Brown.

Director Statement

A Flight to Mars is a project that means a lot to my family and I, as we worked together throughout the process of making this film. We hope that the film can inspire young women into pursuing STEM and that it will intrigue people with the subject matter and how we have presented the story.
