Project Brief
You've heard about the billionaire space race. This isn't that movie. Wild Wild Space, an HBO Original Documentary that chronicles the fierce competition to tackle humanity's next great frontier and the dark side of capitalism's insatiable appetite for profit.
GFS supplied seamless production services for a New Zealand segment of this film. As the local production company, GFS hired and oversaw the local crew, organized all elements of the remote shoot, enabling international crew to conduct real time virtual interviews with the subject. This included coordinating studio, tech, equipment, and schedules, budgeting and delivery.
Produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, Adam McKay's HyperObject Industries and Zero Point Zero Production Inc.
Production notes
Wild Wild Space focuses on the intense rivalry between two visionaries and founders of contesting rocket companies, Chris Kemp and Peter Beck. Their mission transcends mere competition; it’s a strategic bid to outdo each other, disrupt Elon Musk’s cosmic dominance, and claim significant shares in the burgeoning space industry. Amidst triumphs and challenges, Kemp and Beck usher in a new era for space exploration in Lower Earth Orbit and beyond. The stakes rise as they race against time to deploy commercial satellites for prestigious clients, including Planet Labs, led by visionary Will Marshall, encapsulating their shared goal — to redefine space, one satellite launch at a time.
