Kate and the Cosmonaut is a dystopian drama short, exploring the extreme long-distance relationship between Kate – an ‘executive fulfilment specialist’ in a ‘Wowzah! Joy Factory’ – and her ‘Cosmonaut’. Currently screening at Aesthetica Film Festival 2020.
Kate and the Cosmonaut is an ambitious project, but ultimately, a very human one. It’s about discovering hope in the depths of despair. It’s about the desire to connect with someone, no matter the distance. It’s about having the strength to act from a position of vulnerability.
