Director Statement

This is a project where our passion for sci-fi and filmmaking is projected thanks to the effort and trust of all people involved.
The final film is the result of people loving this project, investing hours, days, months and even years to bring this vision to reality.

As Directors and producers we needed to bring our own voice to the Sci-fi genre based on all those film that we love, this is a tribute to them.
Our main goal with this film was to show quality, attention to detail was needed on every shot and that was our main asset, as we didn't have any funds to do this film.
I hope you enjoy our film as much as we did making it.
This is only the beginning of our filmmaking career, so stay tuned!
