The Overview Effect

A WORLD PREMIERE by Lynn Rosen

Directed by Courtney Sale***

A showdown between competing space companies, each on a quest for Mars, ends in disaster with the explosion of RedSky’s unmanned rocket. As air disaster expert Dylan Marks searches for signs of sabotage, her investigation becomes deeply personal and ultimately life changing. This epic tale explores the costs of risk-taking – scientific, emotional, and spiritual – and asks, “Do we know all the ways there are to be alive?”

Run Time: 135 MINUTES
