As Mac chews on a chicken leg in his rundown one-bedroom, with ankle monitors on his legs, breaking news erupts from the television that NASA has lost contact with astronauts in space. The notorious hacker, under house arrest, springs into action, hacking the ISS and discovering one astronaut alive, first-time astronaut Rose Finley, terrified and alone, held hostage by a ruthless Russian billionaire. Risking everything, Mac secretly contacts her father, Joseph Finley (Dennis Haysbert), NASA’s Director of Communications, and together they must quietly plot her escape without alerting NASA.  (NO AI USED IN THE FILM)

Director's Statement

Radio Sky was born out of necessity. I needed to tell a story I could make on my own, honest, contained, and emotionally true. It follows two people trapped in different kinds of isolation, a framed hacker on Earth and a young astronaut stranded in space, who connect through a fragile signal. The film strips away spectacle in favor of intimacy. I wanted it to feel quiet, close, and human. At its heart, Radio Sky is a contained film which examines isolation and the human need for connection.
