This episode features our conversation with Aleem Hossain, writer, and director of the sci-fi feature film After We Leave. Aleem discusses his powerful debut feature film which is gaining a lot of attention.

The film is set in a near-future in which the earth has succumbed to the effects of climate change, natural resource depletion, economic instability, and a host of other societal ills.

However, humanity has a precious lifeline in that other habitable worlds have been discovered and interstellar travel is now possible. Determined by a lottery, a portion of the earth’s population is given a second chance to start over on a new world.

Against this dire backdrop, we meet Jack Chaney, a man with a dark past who returns to the life he walked out on, searching for the wife he abandoned years ago so they can embark on a new life together off-world. But, Jack must first contend with his checkered past and face a reckoning that could jeopardize his chance for a new beginning.

Liminal is a compelling and taut sci-fi short film about an experiment involving human teleportation that takes a disturbing turn.

The short is thoroughly engaging science fiction sans bombastic visual and special effects. Instead, its narrative is bolstered by an intelligent script, a big idea, and outstanding cast performances.

TOUCH, directed by Shola Amoo, is an enigmatic and compelling sci-fi short film that - on the surface - seems to be about two troubled people beginning a new romance.

However, the short raises prescient and provocative questions about technology’s increasingly complicated role in helping us attain that which we desire and the moral and ethical considerations such usage raises.

THE VAULT is a 10-episode, post-apocalyptic web series about an enormous underground bunker that serves as the last refuge for the remnants of humanity who survive an alien invasion.

Filmed in Ottawa, Canada, what sets this web series apart from others with similar themes is its sense of scope and scale.
