CALLISTO'S END Short Film
Donation protected
Logline:
In the not too distant future, an investigator travels to an outpost on the moon of Callisto where the fate of humanities exploration of the stars hangs in the balance.
Story Behind the Story:
CALLISTO'S END marks the return collaboration of Aaron Galindo (Writer, Assistant Director), Andrew Parkerton (Cinematographer) and Nathan Schiele (Director, Writer) who, reaching their final years of University, have been making films together since their High School years and plan to do so for many, many years to come. This is, by far, their most ambitious project to date and will require a larger budget than their previous film, FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD, to bring it to life.
