The short film. After an earth-shattering cataclysm in 2029, a married team of aquatic researchers must fight to defend their spectacular underwater base—humanity’s last hope for survival.
The Human Adventure Begins
The year is 2029. Created as the ultimate city beneath the sea, the Oceanus Research Facility is a wondrous structure housing more than 300 scientists and engineers, including whale biologist Dr. Erin Kendall and her husband, engineer Sam Jordan.
After a devastating global disaster cuts the Oceanus Base off from the surface forever, the team must fight to survive as they establish a new undersea society — while fending off deadly attacks from unseen enemies trying to claim Oceanus for themselves.
Oceanus: Act One is a human drama with amazing aquatic technologies set against stunning unexplored locales. Created with input from science advisors from NASA and the film Gravity, Oceanus: Act One is written with an approach of plausibility and realism. Act One introduces the audience to an incredible new sci-fi universe and story-arcs that is explored further in Oceanus: Odyssey One, the full-length motion picture and Oceanus: Revelation, the action-packed television series, both in pre-production.
