Director Rick Dugdale stops by to talk about the new scifi-thriller ZERO CONTACT, especially about the challenges of making a movie where production is distributed across several continents, while making it look like Zoom-not-Zoom.

Rick talks about the visual effects and the composition of the sound effects to enhance the production value for the finished shots, and expanding the world-building to explore in the upcoming sequels. Those sequels are already in production, and they are the first feature to film scenes in Antarctica.

ZERO CONTACT is available in select theaters, on digital and On Demand on May 27th from Lionsgate Films.
