The only way out is up.

A short science-fiction epic.

“Unapologetically high-concept and cinematic… this is a fascinating and well-told story that takes a powerful dramatic predicament and teases it into a compelling and suspenseful tale.”
– Joel Anderson (Wri/Dir: Lake Mungo)

“Visually and narratively arresting. A striking vision of the future.”
– Matthew Clayfield (Critic: The Australian, TimeOut, Senses of Cinema)
