Darkside: short science fiction film (full video).

Darkside is a short, sci-fi film by Spencer Zimmerman that tells a gripping story of an astronaut’s journey through space. The film follows Sam Bowman, played by Blakley David, who is devastated by a tragedy that leaves him with a harrowing guilt he can no longer avoid. To save himself from the pain, he accepts an interstellar mission to save the lives of a missing crew on a deep space voyage, leaving his life on Earth behind.

However, things take a dark turn when a critical failure leaves him stranded without a crew and without hope. The film explores Sam’s inner turmoil as he struggles to complete his mission, alone, with the weight of his past mistakes and the overwhelming sense of guilt bearing down on him.

The film’s acting is top-notch, with Blakley David delivering a powerful and nuanced performance as Sam. Siobhan Connors, who plays Sam’s wife Sarah, also delivers an emotional performance that adds depth to the storyline. Spencer Zimmerman’s voice as Mission Control adds a nice touch to the film’s suspenseful atmosphere.

The film’s technical aspects are also noteworthy. The cinematography by Liam Meredith is breathtaking, capturing the beauty and danger of space. The production design by Raine LeMay is impressive, creating a believable and realistic futuristic setting. The original music composed by Greg Andersen and the sound design by Henrique Andrade are both superb, adding depth to the film’s emotional impact.

Overall, Darkside is a well-crafted, engaging, and thought-provoking film that explores themes of loss, guilt, and redemption. It is a testament to the potential of independent filmmaking and is definitely worth watching.
