The production crew has a successful crowdfunding campaign that helped complete this project. 5TH PASSENGER made its debut at the Artemis Women in Action Film Festival where they “celebrate powerful women taking action on the silver screen.”
“I directed 5th Passenger because it’s a film I wanted to see. It is inspired by my love of the science fiction genre, The Twilight Zone, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. All twisted storylines with principled characters thrown into extreme situations where society breaks down and their morals and values are tested.” says Director Scott Baker.
