Planet 13

At its core, Planet 13 is a sobering reflection on humanity's complacency towards the state of the earth and the misguided belief that there will always be a "plan B" available.

Writer / Director, Joe Murdie.

THE FILM:

Planet 13 is a short narrative film that delves into the notion of a backup planet, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the idea of a "plan B."

Set in the year 2093, the story takes place on a planet ravaged by human activity, devoid of natural fuel resources and rapidly deteriorating.

With the planet on the brink of collapse, a young couple set out on a dangerous journey to secure the scarce resources needed to escape to a new world, where they can start afresh.

But in a world where the few remaining fuel and battery supplies are the most valuable commodities, survival is not guaranteed.

This project follows on from Director Joe Murdie's debut narrative short WALK, which has had a successful year in festivals, including winning Best Aotearoa Project at Vision Feast Film Festival, and given us further confidence to bring this film to life.

The team is committed to delivering a short film that will captivate audiences and showcase their talents, with the goal of entering a number of prestigious international and New Zealand film festivals that support short narratives.

Planet 13 promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of a future where the consequences of our actions have come home to roost.
