20 minutes to question everything you think about being alone in the universe.
Major Adam Fossy has awakened from hyper-sleep in the heart of a deep space probe to find his mission to collect evidence of extraterrestrial life has inexplicably and suddenly halted. Advised by F-MAN, an infinitely advanced artificial intelligence, Fossy contemplates his dilemma until a close encounter with an unknown being offers him an option: follow into the abyss or stay on the ship to continue with the mission. Fossy walks the line between illusion and delusion, fact and faith.
Sound
F-MAN's dual voice actors create genuinely uncanny AI presence.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Daniel Speers made this as a thesis project, shooting the entire 20-minute runtime in a repurposed shipping container to simulate genuine spacecraft claustrophobia.
The alien's voice is uncredited in most listings — Bekka Prewitt's performance was recorded separately and never shared with the lead actor, ensuring Fossy's genuine uncertainty mirrored Nick Grock's actual reactions.
