About:
Rocket Science is a Science Fiction Comedy short written by Erik Kjonaas. The last evacuation ships are about to launch and leave a dying earth for good. But our hero, Marcus Staley, is delayed, and thus he needs to find a way to hold the launch. Produced, edited, and directed by Dirk van Sloten, Rocket Science played at the Cannes Short Corner Film Festival in May of 2015.



Director Statement:
Rocket Science is a comedy that functions as a light social commentary of the inhumane way we’re forced to communicate with rather unintelligent artificial intelligence. Despite the fact it’s done as a science fiction piece, it was designed so that everyone who’s ever gotten angry at an automated telephone system to obtain technical support can identify with it.
