Scienstars

A shuttle on a training mission is overrun by a swarm of menacing spacefaring aliens. They are the Errg, fearsome creatures that feed on energy. When the Errg set their sights on our energy rich solar system, the team at Scienstar Academy race to prevent Earth from being turned into an energy graveyard!

With material from the new K-12 science education standards worked directly into a narrative fiction framework, Scienstars creates a seamless transition between entertainment and education that drives students' enthusiasm for learning to stellar heights. Our goal is to entertain, educate, and inspire the next generation of scientists!

Director Biography - Adam York

Adam York is an independent filmmaker from Sanford, North Carolina currently living in Charlotte, NC. Adam is known for his directing work on “The Devil’s Lettuce” – the award-winning comedic spoof of the propaganda films of the 1950s. Other directing credits include "The Presence", an independently produced sci-fi short about a Janitor who discovers something unusual in the shadows. Adam also served as Executive Producer for “Behind Comic Con Curtains” – a documentary exploring the world of fandom conventions and the interesting people that frequent them. He was also Line Producer on the feature film "Ringfinger", a LBGT romantic comedy set in Asheville NC, and produced in association with Third Eye Media and Eros Thanos films. Adam is perhaps best known for his work on "Scienstars" – a live-action, educational science fiction series that introduces ideas, practices, and crosscutting concepts from a new set of science education standards. Adam was lucky enough to serve as director and one of the showrunners, and is looking forward to further developing "Scienstars" in the future.
