OUR STORY
Over a year later, with a little luck, a lot of favors, and the additions of Producer Julianna Ulrich and co-Executive Producer John Parenteau to the team, the right cast and crew fell into place, and together they built the world William and J. always envisioned.
From conception through post production, ALONE has been a labor of extreme love for all involved, and the result — a timely film about loneliness — is something we’re all proud to call our own.
SYNOPSIS

She’s alone.
While figuring out what to do, Kaya starts sending messages to Hammer, a cartographer marooned on a nearby planet. And as their friendship grows, Kaya’s options slowly dwindle, until survival seems hopelessly out of reach…
