Sci Fi: OUT THERE

Space is a cold dark place, whether we're talking about the starry expanse or an inner-state. Self-delusion, soil improvement and self-help all factor into these time travelling, future states.

Defoe
An astronaut finds himself shipwrecked on a lonely, unfamiliar planet. When he realizes he is in fact not alone, it is anything but happy news. A resonant meditation on survival and hopelessness.
 
Schizofredric
Fredric is a nerdy slob who messes up the relationship with his girlfriend and misses his article deadline, again. In an effort to get his motivation and mojo back, he signs up for an unorthodox self-improvement program. An amusing transformation of wasted space and time.
 
Fard
In the near future, the world functions in a highly efficient and controlled way. When a working drone agrees to help a friend stash a mysterious package, everything is turned upside down.
 
Vostok Station
The sole survivor of a cataclysmic disaster experiences a bewildering moment of fleeting beauty. Is it a last vision before death? An alien invasion? The final synapse firing?
 
?E?ANX (The Cave)
A hunter on horseback accidentally discovers a portal to the afterlife in this sci-fi retelling of a traditional Tsilhqot'in story. This genre-bending suspense is a unique vision of time travel that is at once futuristic and prehistoric.
