Written and Directed by Aldo Romero

An automated space probe named "Annie Em" encounters an extraterrestrial spacecraft on Titan. This is the story of Earth's first fully aware and functioning artificial intelligence. Too bad Earth will never know. The questions posed in this piece stretch the definitions of what is considered intelligence and fully sentient awareness.

The 3D designs of the probe spacecraft and all science are based on many of the designs of the real-life space mission, the Huygens, an atmospheric entry probe that landed successfully on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. Built and operated by the European Space Agency, it was part of the Cassini–Huygens mission and became the first spacecraft ever to land on Titan and the farthest landing from Earth a spacecraft has ever made.

The first 360 Virtual Reality film under Symbiotic Film has been featured at the Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival, The New York Science Fiction Film Festival, and Animation Nights New York and has just signed a distribution deal with Digital Domain.
