The Interception (Sci-fi Short Film)

When an unidentified spaceship approaches Earth, a USSF Major must make a choice with high stakes and no good answer.
The Interception is a sci-fi short film (hopefully the first of many) set in the world of Starfront. The year is 2263. A fractured, spacefaring Humanity has just made first contact with a mysterious alien empire. Though at first optimistic, mutual suspicion and fear soon take control: any wrong move could lead to war, and war could mean extinction.
The Interception, inspired by Military sci-fi like Halo and Enders Game, has been in the making for over a year since the start of preproduction. Shot on a budget of less than a $1,000, this film would not have been possible without the talent and effort of these wonderful people who made this film happen:

There are a ton of great people who helped make this short film happen, and among them was Composer Alex Watson, who created the excellent soundtrack you hear in the film. There was an issue we didn't catch with the credits, so I wanted to draw special attention to his work here in the comments. His music plays a huge role in the film and I'm eternally grateful for his work.
