SPEEDSTER (Sci-Fi short-film)

Speedster is an action film that was inspired by movies like The Rocketeer, Top Gun & Star Wars. The film features Flying, Jet-Packs, High-Speed chases and more! The story centers around a female protagonist, Alex, as she embarks on her hero’s journey as a new pilot in the obscure sport of Speedster Racing. Throughout her journey she will face various trials & tribulations as she challenges her enemies for the title of champion racer.

This film is about capturing the magic of flight and the beauty of competitive sport. Our production team prides itself on the use of practical effects and visual storytelling. In order to tell this story in a unique and creative way, we used state of the art filming techniques to capture first person footage of flight. Enjoy!
