Sci-Fi Short Film “Early to Rise“ | DUST | Online Premiere

Explore the DUST Multiverse on our App: On the way to a distant planet, three less-than-qualified astronauts are awoken 90 years too early and trapped inside their hibernation pods. Alone in the endless void, they can’t kill themselves, and they can’t kill each other, so they’ll just have to kill time. “Early to Rise“ by Alec Cohen Connect with the Filmmaker: More About “Early to Rise“: Early to Rise opens with three low-ranking astronauts aboard the DreamBlaster spaceship, accidentally woken up from hibernation – with 90 years left on their journey. After the panic of being trapped in their hibernation pods wears off, they commit themselves to finding an escape. Through endless weeks of bickering, boredom and a little bonding, the three accidental prisoners manage to get drunk, get laid, get a video chat, get on a game show, get briefly out of their pod, get permanently trapped back in their pod, get a random lady killed, get an order placed on Amazon and get a rescue ship eaten by a giant alien whale. They do not, however, manage to get free. “Early to Rise“ Credits: Created by / Alec Cohen Written by / Mike Cabellon, Alec Cohen, Adrien Pellerin, Katie Sicking Directed by / Alec Cohen Starring / Mike Cabellon, Adrien Pellerin, Katie Sicking Featuring / Sarah Smallwood Parsons, Iman Richardson, Brian McElhaney, Matt Giroveanu, Jerah Milligan, Taylor Ortega, RJ O’Brien Director of Photography / Nate Slevin, Zak Ray Additional Camera / Andy Zou Camera Assistant / Joshua Stenseth Production Sound / Emily Strong, Jon Moore, Phillip Shipman, Edwin Cruz Producers / Grace Palmer, Brian Giannone, Davis Priestley Production Services / Revery Art Director / Sarah Shulman Costume Designer / Stephanie Tomey Edited by / Adrien Pellerin Visual Effects / Austin Lipinski Graphic Artist / Corinne Cohen Special Thanks to / The Shulman Family, Zack Phillips Subscribe to the DUST and ALTER newsletter: Subscribe to DUST on YouTube: #DUST #scifi #shortfilm About DUST: DUST presents thought-provoking science fiction content, exploring the future of humanity through the lens of science and technology.
