Watch a Fun Sci-Fi Short Film Called ALPHA SQUADRON That Was Created With Practical Effects

I’ve got a fun sci-fi short film for you to check out today called Alpha Squadron. The film tells the story of a space fighter pilot squadron leader who is trying to keep his group of friends together as they grow apart.

The movie was written and directed by Michael Lukk Litwak who made the film using 100% practical effects. That includes the creation of miniatures and liquid nebulas. The short comes off as being a little silly, but I actually really dig the visual designs and effects. It works for the story and it’s just style of the film. I dig it!

The movie stars Griffin Newman (The Tick), Sunita Mani (GLOW), and Jordan Carlos (Adulting). Watch Alpha Squadron below and let us know what you think!
