🎥 More About “Escape Velocity”:
Escape velocity: the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body, without ever falling back.
An astronaut awakens in an abandoned cave of a strange planet. An interstellar vagabond, so to say. A light path leads him to the surface, where he looks at his compass and heads for his spaceship. He keeps glancing back, treading nervously, looking afraid. He has been chased by a creature for a long time, and his only way to break free is to escape this curious planet.
🎬 Director’s Statement:
The title is a technical term related to space travel for good reason. It also symbolizes a final determination, which is a hard step to take. The idea itself came from a personal wound, which left a deep impression on me. Later, I tried to make those energies more universal. This is how the result became an allegorical story of letting go and growing up, embedded in a sci-fi context.
