World Premiering at TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL, THE 716TH is a hugely entertaining and ambitiously scoped comedic sci fi adventure short film from writer/director Andrew Bowen. Made on a shoestring budget, the film is the result of the year and a half Bowen dedicated to bringing this sci-fi universe life (the bulk of which he spent in his garage building a majority of the sets, props, costumes and alien creatures himself). Featuring endearing characters, laugh-out-loud moments, huge scope and impressive VFX, THE 716TH marks a noteworthy commercial debut from Bowen and the talented team who helped him bring this expansive science-fiction universe to life.
