New Sci-Fi Short Film “C (299, 792 kilometers per second)” From Derek Van Gorder & Otto Stockmeier.

Get ready for a new compelling sci-fi short film to head your way thanks to Derek Van Gorder and Otto Stockmeier, two filmmakers from Hudson, New York. Their goal is to create “C (299, 792 kilometers per second)” that follows an independent woman’s vision on interstellar colonization. The two filmmaker set to challenge themselves with a classic retro filmmaking style/technique, using no green screen and high end technology.

This film is the story of an idealistic flight officer who hijacks her spaceship during an interplanetary cold war, and attempts to escape our solar system in search of other habitable worlds. However, when a small group of soldiers led by Second Lieutenant Kai provide unexpected resistance, Malleck’s master plan is threatened. A compelling sci-fi action/drama about one woman’s vision for the next logical step in human development: the leap from interplanetary to interstellar colonization. C proposes a space-age manifest destiny in the shadow of extinction. In an era where science and technology are too often vilified, we believe that science-fiction should inspire us to surpass our limits and use the tools available to us to create a better future for our descendants.
