Quiet Planet

Filmed in 2012, Quiet Planet was created for the Sci-Fi London 48 hour film challenge, preceding the 11th Sci-Fi London Film Festival in London. 

Filmed over the weekend of 14/15th April, this is what we came up with: 



The concept of the competition was to create a 3-5 minute long short, based on four randomly selected elements. The elements were:

  • Title - Quiet Planet
  • Line of dialogue - The upgrade process will begin in T-minus 5 minutes and counting
  • Prop - We see a character look in a book, turn to a page with a turned corner. They then write the page number down, next to a sequence of other numbers
  • Sub-plot - A virus that kills language

Cast and Crew:

  • Chris Nellis - Writer/Producer/Editor/Director
  • Scott Nellis - Writer/Art Direction/Editor
  • Theo Affail - Writer/Actor
  • Matt Good - Writer/Sound/Actor
  • Jon Powell - Writer/Crew/Actor (but cut - well, you might see his foot if you're eagle-eyed)
