First Contact

Many scientists believe that the first evidence of extra-terrestrial life may soon be detected…

This VFX-driven, feature-length docu-drama considers what might happen in this unprecedented scenario, tracing an alien object as it travels through the solar system over 12 days. 

We collaborated closely with director Nic Stacey to create compelling and cinematic VFX that places viewers in an immersive ‘near’ future world. Our goal was to offer a new perspective with a bold and daring aesthetic that blends seamlessly into the story and, above all, feels authentic.
