Storyline
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. A clean, crisp signal cuts through the static and noise of space. When you've spent years listening to the sounds of the cosmos, you get used to hearing weirdness, but Mike Webster knows this is no ordinary signal. It's not a pulsar or a black hole, it's not interference, it's something different, something logical, something with purpose. As part of a three man astronomy team crammed into a car kitted out with all manner of stellar studying equipment, Mike is reluctant to jump to grand conclusions about his little discovery, and secretly transmits a response to the signal. Pointless, he knows, even if it was from intelligent life, it'd take thousands of years for his response to reach them and thousands more for them to reply. But when he does receive a response just hours later, his scientific understanding, and that of his fellow scientists, is shaken. Could this be genuine? Is there more to decipher from the message? How could a reply come so quickly? Before long, the team face the challenge of documenting their discovery, proving its authenticity and sharing it with the world before it is lost forever. Three astronomers may just have inadvertently stumbled across Mankind's greatest discovery: proof of alien life.

Did you know
- TriviaCosmos had no funding or budget - all equipment was either owned prior to filming or borrowed, all locations were lent and all cast and crew worked on the project without a fee.
- GoofsThe satellite they track moves east-to-west. While not impossible, nearly all non-polar, low-earth-orbit satellites are launched west-to-east as that leverages the earth's spin in obtaining the necessary orbital speed.
- Quotes
Roy Kennedy: I figure there's two types of scientist Mike; those that look down at Earth trying to figure out what's going on here, and then there are those who look up to space searching for the answers out there. But they're both really looking for the same thing: Who are we? What are we? What does all this mean?
- Crazy creditsPrior to the end credits: "FOR DAD" appears. This is a tribute to the directors' Dad: "Our Dad was supposed to work alongside us on the camera/lighting but we sadly lost him a month before we started shooting in September 2015" - the official Splice Community page.

Decent Movie for budget
This was a decent film, but could have been much better. I thought the film was a little to long and there were parts that should have been cut out. maybe made the film around 1.40 mins.
I liked how the guys started out a little distant and as the film progressed you really felt their friendship coming out. I loved the music and felt the film heartwarming between the characters.
It sort of made me feel like thinking about lost friendships and memories i cherish.
Their was a little frustration at certain parts which did not really need to be there and seemed to stopped the film from moving forward with petty scenes.
I sort of wanted to fast forward to get over the scene.
The last 30 mins like most films was really good and kept you on your seat towards the ending which pulled on your heartstrings.
Overall the film was nicely done and i enjoyed it. The actors were great and you felt the bond between them. I think the film makers have loads of talent and for the budget the quality was 1st class and with the right budget, these guys could make a really good film.
