Voidance Q&A Film Screening
Voidance follows Alana Toro in her final assessment to become an ATIC agent. Inside a simulated space station bar, she must prevent a terrorist attack before it happens. Each failed attempt allows her to restart the scenario, but with limited chances to get it right. As Alana navigates a cast of guarded and unpredictable patrons, gaining trust proves as difficult as identifying the threat itself. With each attempt, new details emerge and assumptions shift, forcing her to rethink who she can rely on. As the pressure builds, Alana is pushed towards an unorthodox solution, one that may challenge everything ATIC expects of her. Film networking event followed by screening of Marianna Dean's sci-fi thriller Voidance starring James Cosmo PLUS a Q&A featuring local filmmaker Mark Hampton in conversation with Voidance lead actor and producer Zoe Cunningham.
