Life Systems Failure
Directed by Nick Duggan (YCIS - Teacher).
The film is in the style of narrative trailer however it was really filmed in order to feature an original musical score composed for the purpose. It is the story of the “Keplar” shuttle launched to seek a similar world to Earth but things go terribly wrong and it is poignant in that clearly the protagonist will never return to Earth.
