Our Story

After a lot of fun creating the YouTube horror web series I AM SOPHIE in 2020, a project which amassed a dedicated following that we loved to watch as they figured out the mystery of Sophie and Lara. The excitement of this project led us to want to create something that drew on our love of every part of filmmaking...

During the earliest points of the pandemic, when lockdowns were in full effect and the prospects of the film industry were bleak, we began to write our first low budget, self-funded feature film. PHASE is a sci-fi drama that tells a human story of loneliness and the need for connection in the setting of space.

Instead of taking on the task of making a high tech spaceship, we created a homage to the 70s and 80s, a plasticky, retro-futurist nightmare in which space technology ceased to develop further. The immersion of space is translated through lighting, projections, and miniatures. When we were finished, we had a flight deck and living quarters complete with bunks, a kitchen, bathroom, airlock and dining area and 6-point integrated lighting to help maintain space-efficiency. A world with its own ideas, graphics, advertisements, clothing, branding, original music and even food.

After another year passed and with everything in place, we could finally bring everyone into our self-contained world.

Currently we have shot the majority of scenes featuring Ursula's character when she is alone, which accounts for around 60% of the film. Filming with our tiny crew has been an absolute joy as it brings us back to the core of filmmaking and creating something with a small and passionate group of friends. We have achieved something we never thought was possible, and feel incredibly proud of the level of work and heart everyone has put into this already.
