DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
This film was the first of a planned trilogy about individuals surviving total global devastation. I've long wondered about how people would face the challenges of near-futile missions, and what would happen to their psychological stability after long periods alone. Astronaut explores the life of one man as he dreams of the wife he left behind, and imagines her as a voice of the universe with a message to change his mission. There is a blending of dreams with reality, and the astronaut experiences his world as distant voices and lost love. This film is about trying to find hope in the face of futility.
