Panic in Space - SF Comedy Web Series

12 x 6 min 2025 Studio Off / ChezFilms

The future sucks. But where else can we go?

A humorous and existential web series shot at Studio Off Courts with about thirty actors. Coming 2025.

UPDATE: I'm aiming for a November release – yes, this year! At least for the first 10 episodes. I'll keep you posted.

As a preview, here is episode #5, which won the Audience Award at the 2024 Riom Festival:

Panic in Space #5 - 1000 Years of Solitude

Pitch

The distant future.

Humanity 🌍 has conquered distant galaxies and spread throughout the universe 🚀.

Panic in Space follows the screen-to-screen 👨‍💻👩‍💻 conversations between planets, ships, and space stations separated by thousands of light-years.

Unfortunately, distance doesn't solve anything: between interplanetary racism 👽, out-of-control technology 💾, and a certain existential nostalgia 🥺, life isn't always easy.

But a revolution is brewing...
