Vessel
When Sam Hatch meets a mysterious new client who needs his help, digging into her past sends the encounter violently off course and forces him to run for his life.
About the Film
A compact descent into a dark, improvised future.
Vessel follows Sam Hatch, a man hired by the mysterious Max to uncover information buried in her past. What begins as a seemingly contained exchange quickly fractures, turning a routine job into a desperate flight for survival.
Created as a zero-budget entry for Project Greenlight, the film used borrowed equipment, practical modifications, green-screen effects, and tightly controlled lighting to build a lived-in cyberpunk world within a three-minute runtime.
