About ALONE
ALONE is a real time character drama for two female identifying actors.
ALONE is a heart-racing, feminist sci-fi thriller that unfolds in real-time aboard a dying spacecraft. Two women—one a brilliant but overlooked scientist, the other a brilliant pilot—hold Earth’s last hope in their hands. As the ship begins to fail, so does their trust in each other, forcing them to confront not only the ticking clock but the personal fractures between them. Set against the backdrop of climate collapse, ALONE explores the silencing of female voices in STEM, the search for meaning in the face of mortality, and what it truly takes to survive. Tense, emotional, and deeply relevant—this is sci-fi at its most human.
ALONE exists as a 90 minute and a 60 minute script.
