Director Statement

'Cosmic Rift' began as an homage to old school sci fi. We wanted to challenge ourselves in a genre that is difficult to break into at the ground level and takes even more money and skill to do well. Luckily for us, we had a lot of time on our hands during 2020 as well as the space, freedom, and drive to create something we could be proud of. Every step of this journey has been punctuated with the question 'how can we do this better?' to the point that the finished product is totally unrecognizable from the project we started more than a year earlier. We sincerely hope audiences have as much fun watching 'Cosmic Rift' as we had making it.
