Director Biography - Max Albrecht

Born in the south of England and raised in the north, while studying a physics degree at university Max identified film-making as a way to combine his various creative interests, including writing, visual composition, acting, and composing songs and soundtracks. Max is a lifelong fan of sci-fi, horror, fantasy and surreal films, and draws upon his own scientific knowledge and medical experience of surviving cancer at an early age to colour the philosophies behind the characters and worlds in his films.

Director Statement

This was where it really started getting fun for myself and friends; before this, all our projects were created under the university's film-making society whereas this was our first "independent" film that we created as a rag-tag group of individuals. Originally created as an experiment to see whether we could shoot an action film on virtually zero budget, the script was written long before we had the time to shoot the film, and even after production wrapped it has taken several years for myself and the producer to finalise the edit to the point where we are happy with it. The result is a film that still feels humble and "lo-fi", but we hope is entertaining in its role as a tribute to sci-fi action "popcorn flicks".
