Sci-Fi Series Alt Set for Gunpowder & Sky’s DUST

The Gunpowder & Sky sci-fi label DUST has kicked off production in New Mexico on Alt, a new sci-fi series directed by Trevor Stevens (Rock Steady Row).

Alt is a ten-episode spin-off show based on Douglas Jessup’s award-winning short film GLOW, which premiered on DUST. Treading into the paranormal while remaining rooted in reality, it tells the story of a young woman named Val who returns home to rural Appalachia to investigate her father’s suspicious disappearance.

Catherine Parker (The Haunting of Hill House, Lapham Rising) stars in Alt as Val alongside Sam Anderson (Forrest Gump, Water For Elephants), Joseph Lee Anderson (Harriet, American Soul), Travis Hammer (Godless, Ray Donovan), Shiva Negar (American Assassin) and Jan Uddin (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Injustice).

Jude Harris, senior VP of development and production at Gunpowder & Sky, said: “DUST has quickly become a breeding ground for the best creative minds in sci-fi, and it’s exciting to be working with DUST talent and developing their ideas into longer form series and films.”
