Space used to be cool. Back in 2028, Zachery “Max” Levodolinksy joined a sterling class of NASA astronauts. But a decade later NASA ran out of funding and all the hero jobs went away. Now Max is 45 years old and he’s captaining a heap-of-junk orbital tanker on a weekly Helium-3 run to the moon and back again. Rampant computer viruses mean nothing can be automated. Space qualified pilots are still needed...but just barely.
After ten years of thankless orbital transpo, Max’s company throws a new pilot his way for training: Tomasina “Tommie” al-Qasimi. She’s 25, full of fresh enthusiasm and way too much confidence as she works to prove herself. And when the latest redux goes very, very wrong they will have to work together if they want to survive. No pressure, right?
Performed and streamed live, including a live musical score and live special effects, Orbital Redux season 1 aired on Legendary Digital’s interactive Alpha platform in Fall 2018, and immediately gained an enthusiastic fan following. Combining the latest and greatest digital live production technology with classic techniques of filmmaking, Orbital Redux is an exciting hybrid of old and new. It mixes the discipline and rigor of traditional production with the energy and excitement of live-streaming and audience interactivity. With a stellar cast (no pun intended), Orbital is a beautiful, warm world where viewers want to spend time with characters they’re invested in, and whose lives they hold in their hands…
