Sci-fi Short - Crash Site

Image
Sick of AI storytelling? I can assure you no AI was used in the making of my new short film Crash Site. Why, you ask? Are you against it morally and philosophically because AI will replace us all!?! No, no nothing like that. I didn’t use AI because in reality, this short film is not really new. It was shot in 2013 and while I had gotten very far into post on it, there was always one last thing to do. So now after more than 10 years, I finally got it done, without AI. It stars Steven Yeun and Sam Richardson giving awesome performances and is a true labor of love from a small crew of friends and a throwback to a time before AI existed and we made movies with people about people discovering and using things that have ramifications far beyond their control...Funded via Kickstarter and filmed in just four days with a crew of friends, this short is a scrappy, heartfelt tribute to the kind of sci-fi films we grew up loving.  It's really good!
