Comments
Sheridan College’s recently retooled Advanced Television and Film post-graduate program centers around the cutting-edge technology of Virtual Production which is becoming the go-to production method on major productions due to the many advantages it offers over location shooting. In its second year, the program offers its student the opportunity to shoot their projects in the college’s purpose-build VP studio under a special agreement with both the Director’s Guild and ACTRA.
Storyline
Commander Mina Warren undergoes a dangerous mission on an Earth-like planet’s surface. Back on the spaceship, Mission Captain Jenkins and scientist Ricky Warren (Mina's husband) are eager to see results, hoping to get a sample from the planet's surface. As Warren is completing her mission, she discovers something unusual, just as a dangerous storm starts to form. Time is of the essence if they hope for the commander to get back safely, putting Ricky at crossroads - should he save his wife or stay on track of the mission.
