Sci-Fi Short Film “Wakener” Now Streaming on YouTube
If you’re a lover of space horror and have fifteen minutes to spare, there’s a new sci-fi short that costs nothing. Writer/director Anthony Ferraro has posted his latest creation, “Wakener,” on his popular YouTube channel Create Sci-Fi.
The claustrophobic hallways and confined spaces of a dark spaceship have always been good for mining terror, especially when you throw an unknown creature into the mix. In this short, an ambitious young officer and a broken ship technician meet while investigating what’s called a “Ghost Ship” in their line of work. They’ve discovered an abandoned station and must investigate to find out why. One would think in a civilization this advanced they’d have drones for this kind of dangerous job…but then we’d have no story.
“Wakener compelled me to embrace creative problem-solving with limited resources,” says Ferraro. “Working within a modest budget, I formed relationships with skilled crews in Los Angeles and collaborated with talented local SAG Actors. As the filmmaking journey unfolded, the joy of creating overshadowed budget considerations. Bringing this vision to life with old and new friends was truly exhilarating. Proudly, Wakener stands as a testament to our collective efforts.”
The full short can be viewed below. Behind-the-scenes videos that explore the props and costume builds are also on Create Sci-Fi.
