Science Fiction Short Alone Shot and Finished with Blackmagic Design
Fremont, California, USA – February 10, 2021 - Blackmagic Design announced today that the science fiction short film “Alone,” which premiered on WatchDust.com December 3rd, was shot using Blackmagic Design cameras, and posted with DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Kaya Torres, an engineer with a sailor’s mouth and a stubborn spirit, barely escapes her research ship when calamity breaks it in half. Now she’s circling a black hole in a pod, with no one coming and no one to help. While figuring out what to do, Kaya starts sending messages to Hammer, a cartographer marooned on a nearby planet. And as their friendship grows, Kaya's options slowly dwindle, until survival seems hopelessly out of reach.
Written by J. Scott Worthington and directed by William Hellmuth, “Alone” was a case study in filmmakers following their passion to make a feature quality short film on a limited budget.
