Storyline

When Damon Miller (Moritz von Zeddelmann), a talented, young London filmmaker becomes involved in the disturbing research surrounding Near-Earth Objects he stumbles onto the discovery that the Earth stands on the brink of an extraterrestrial disaster. Believing he's finally discovered the ideal subject for his next documentary, Damon gets caught up in a conspiracy that threatens him and the ones he loves. Chasing shady leads, and armed only with his camera, Damon must overcome his fears about the future and prepare himself to make the ultimate sacrifice. By depicting cataclysmic events through the perspective of one individual, writer/director Grigorij Richters succeeds in crafting a truly human story about love, disillusionment and obsession in the face of overwhelming cosmic forces.

Trivia

During 2nd Unit shooting the director, Grigorij Richters, went to Embankment, London. He was looking for a place to rest his 6m long camera crane to imitate a CCTV camera for a scene. He saw a CCTV camera pole and rested the crane against it. After securing the crane to the pole the CCTV camera started moving, trying to figure out what was going on. Within minutes a team of security officers and police arrived at the scene and explained that the building he was filming was the Ministry of Defence (MOD). One day later Richters received a phone call from the MOD. They were investigating the case for espionage and terrorism.
