In a future where synthetic humans are programmed to suppress suffering, a grieving son must confront the emotions he has spent a lifetime hiding before a growing void inside him consumes everything he is. “Void” by Jonathan Munoz Starring Jason Patric (The Lost Boys, Sleepers) 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8760284/ https://www.instagram.com/jonathan_zonum/ 🎥 More About “Void”: In a utopian society where synthetic humans are conditioned to suppress suffering, a grieving son begins developing mysterious illness that claimed his mother’s life. As the condition spreads and every diagnostic system insists he is perfectly healthy, he is forced to confront a painful legacy buried within his family. What he discovers challenges everything he believes about humanity, loss, and the cost of living without pain. 🎬 Director’s Statement: This film was very personal for me to write. It allowed me to confront some very tough questions about my own life and relationship with my family. I enjoyed the world building elements and the high tech gadgets that would surround the characters but wanted the story to feel extremely focused on Eric and his relationship with his father. The futuristic setting played part as a backdrop and allowed me to explore the metaphor of mental illness represented through physical symptoms that one would feel compelled to hide from others. 🎞️ About the Film: Writter & Director: Jonathan Munoz Executive Producers: Kim Ziemianin, Khuloud Kelly Rabadi, Ronnie Marinelli, Andy Huang, Christopher C.

On the first day of her job running a remote, isolated space station, Mickie receives mysterious transmissions and must quickly unravel their meaning with the help of a passing spaceship Captain, or an untold number of lives could be lost. “Tether” by Meredith Berg 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.tethershortfilm.com https://www.meredithberg.com https://www.berylliument.com 🎥 More About “Tether”: Winner of multiple festival awards including “Best Director,” “Best Sci-Fi” and “Audience Award,” TETHER stars GEFFRI MAYA as “Mickie,” a woman running a remote space station by herself who receives a mysterious transmission calling for help that she must unravel or an untold number of lives could be lost! Also starring MING-NA WEN as the Captain of the closest ship and her only human connection, as well as the voice talents of SAMM LEVINE and JOE RUSSELL. 🎬 Director’s Statement: The universe is a cold, dangerous place and the only way to survive is if we look out for each other. This theme applies not only to “Tether,” my thriller set in a space station, but also to making films. Filmmaking is a collaborative art, and you have to work together if you’re going to survive. I am beyond grateful to have had an amazing team by my side pulling off an ambitious tale with spectacular stunts and an emotional arc that resonates. I love stories where flawed but relatable characters are thrown into high-pressure situations that force them to change or die. Genre stories are the best way to hold a mirror up to ourselves and our world and explore our sins and our strengths. Even in the face of dystopic odds, we can find solace, community, and our best chance at survival through the support of those around us, and our ability to lean on that support to grow. 🎞️ About the Film: Writer/Director: Meredith Berg Producer: Ethan Erwin Producer: Camille Brown Cinematographer: Meena Singh Costume Designer: Chelsea Staebell Production Designer: Jeremy Jonathan White Editor: Philip Horrell Stunt Coordinator: Diz Sharpe Composer: Frederik Wiedmann Hair Designer: Ryan Burrell Make-Up Designer: Netsuki Blackwelder Executive Producer: Carolyn Erwin Executive Producer: Gautam Sood Executive Producer: Amanda Bonn Executive Producer: Brian Joines Cast: Geffri Maya Ming-Na Wen Samm Levine Joe Russell Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.

Think MEN IN BLACK meets THE CONVERSATION. It was also born from my personal goal to write stories with Asian Americans in character archetypes that rarely feature them. Put simply, I was a kid from rural Minnesota who often imagined himself as a secret agent fighting aliens, and grew up wishing he saw that onscreen more often. 🎞️ About the Film: Written & Directed by: Ryan Alexander Huang Produced by: Penny Lin Executive Producers: Iker Amaya, Shelbi Rose Associate Producer: Brandon Bacall Assistant Director: Ryan N.

With Somnolence, I set out to create an intense proof-of-concept that feels like a feature in under 10 minutes. The story explores the human cost of time travel and the terrifying fallout from a failed energy experiment that rips open a world-devouring singularity, an idea inspired by real-world fears surrounding the LHC and its particle collision experiments. At its core, this film is about the quiet agony of love under extreme pressure: a wife who must help invade the damaged mind of the man she loves, knowing the procedure might break him forever, all in a desperate attempt to save the world.

As the two form an unexpected bond, Ruby is forced to confront her fear of vulnerability and that anxious voice in the back of your head that wonders why anyone would want to be friends with you. Through this strange but tender friendship, she begins to discover the power of opening up in a world that makes isolation feel inevitable. 🎬 Director’s Statement: I started developing this film during the height of the pandemic, as I was reflecting on isolation and the importance of human connection. As I watched the rapid advancement of AI, remote work, and “convenient” technologies that make our lives increasingly individualized, I was drawn to imagining a future in which technology helps humans become better humans. What if there was a robot that was designed to bring out the best in us? 🎞️ About the Film: Writer + Director: Anika Kan Grevstad Producers: Corrina Leatherwood, Skye Mahaffie, Chris Bauer, Anika Kan Grevstad Co-Producers: Sasha Faust, Lucy Houlihan, Lila Schmitz Executive Producer: Susan Wise Bauer Co-Executive Producers: Alison + Kurt Grevstad, Ryan Loeffler, John + Jane Mahaffie Associate Producers: Ross Albu, Marilyn + Ben Grevstad, Mike + Karen Mahaffie, Lee Ngo Director of Photography: Jasmine Karcey Production Designer: Patricia Witt Visual Effects Supervisor: Skye Mahaffie Composer: Edith Mudge Costume Designer: Claire Mildred Casting Director: Lucy Houlihan Assistant Directors: Julia Monahan, Lila Schmitz Makeup Artists: Lorena Duncan, Alex Pahl-Skinner Production Sound Mixer: Matthew Larson Gaffer: Sika Stanton First AC: Sarah Megyesy Key Grip: Tristan St Germain G+E Swing: Jackson Richardson G+E Swing: Brady Berryhill DIT + Script Supervisor: Lila Schmitz Set Dresses: Faith Ivory, Brian Spadafora Beans Fabricator + Stand In: Ariel Kaplan Ruby Stand In: Maddie Nguyen Production Assistant: Adam Pine, Hank Johnson Character Designer: Lavon O’Bannon Lead Visual Effects Artist + Character Animator: Skye Mahaffie Visual Effects Artist: Santino Vitale Compositing Artist: Chris Friend Additional Visual Effects: Justin Chandra Editor: Anika Kan Grevstad Colorist: Stratton Farrar Music Supervisor: Maggie Nadeau Voiceover Consultant: Dee Bradley Baker Re-recording Mixer + Supervising Sound Editor: Matthew Larson Dialogue Editor: Chase McElhaney Foley Artist: Alvaro Aparicio Foley Editor: Vanessa Chuquire Cast: Midori Francis Alex Song-Xia Danielle Young Miyuki Matsunaga Adam Shapiro Joaquina Gentil Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.
