Director Statement

What a fun project to shoot. What do you do when your daughter visits for a few months? Shoot a short film of course.

This isn't a passion project, but maybe a love letter to old sci-fi films.
The two of us, got the gear set up, I designed and created the meteorite, lit the scenes and got to have fun while doing it. We only shot for 5-6 hours a day spread across a few weeks.

I even shot a Super8 version of the same film. That's coming out soon.

I guess, this was a passion project after all. Nothing fancy, just a father and his daughter having fun. Shot in Atlanta.

Enjoy!
