Darkwave: Edge Of The Storm is an example of a sci-fi short film so well-produced, not adapting it into a full-length feature or series would be criminal.

Set 100 years in the future, humanity has begun expanding out into the stars.

On distant planet New Earth-72, Sarah (Nathalie Cox), her husband David (Robin Kirwan), along with their young son Ben (Ben Shahin-Scales), are on the run, fugitives from their government.

During their flight, they stumble upon a defunct communications installation. There, they discover long-held secrets that threaten to alter the course of human history.

Darkwave: Edge Of The Storm boasts exceptional production on every level.

For example, the cinematography and visual effects feel truly cinematic. They help lend the film a grand sense of scope.

The actors are wonderful too. Their chemistry together feels natural and organic. You soon come to care for this family, and their fate.

The short also features veteran character actor Shane Rimmer (Dr. Strangelove, Batman Begins) in a cameo as Ben's maternal grandfather Captain Anderson.
