A romantic hike in the wilderness takes a dark turn when Ness pushes her partner, a former astronaut named Tal, to confront a difficult truth by overlaying it with a cherished memory. When revealed, Ness is reluctantly forced to share a secret of her own, with world-breaking connotations. In the end, two tragic pasts shine light upon a new path forward.

Why is it doing this? What's it getting out of this? So this is Drifters. A scifi romance between two real/unreal lost beings with no purpose or people, forced to reinvent themselves and figure it out together. Tale as old as time. 🎞️ Credits: Cast - Matt Murray: Tal Samora Smallwood: Ness Director of Photography: Ash Tailor-Jones Assistant Camera Operator: Roy Zheng Key Grip: James Ho
