The filmSynopsis
When a Quantum Ride goes wrong, a singer finds herself blamed for something she did not do. With a mercenary intent on her destruction closing in, she has one chance to prove her innocence and get out alive. Quantum Ride is a cyberpunk science fiction short from writer and director Peter Koevari, made by a cast and crew who set out to swing above their weight and show what an independent production can create.
In his wordsDirector's statement
Quantum Ride is born of a love of sci-fi, cyberpunk and especially imaginative worlds in these genres from recent years. It was a strong collaborative effort between many cast and crew who were not afraid to come out swinging above our weight with a concept idea to showcase what we are able to create. We hope you strap in and enjoy the ride.
This looks like it cost a million dollars to make!
We have had many of his films in past seasons and all of them have been exceptional and Quantum Ride is a cut above.
It's a great film! I really loved it. Elements of Cyberpunk 2077. Plays out well and great VFX. Liked the aesthetics and the talent!
