PROJECT EDEN: A Battle for the Tree of Life (Official Teaser)

Описание: As the Cold War grips the nation, three friends seek an adventure that will change their lives forever. Experience the official teaser for PROJECT EDEN—a high-concept, sci-fi adventure in the heart of the 1950s.

In a time of secrets and shadows, three kids in Small Town, USA, find themselves caught between a power-hungry military officer and a supernatural mystery that defies reality – the Tree of Life. Inspired by the classic adventures of the 80s, Project Eden is our love letter to practical filmmaking, environmental storytelling, and the enduring spirit of youthful curiosity and innocence. From the dusty rural roads to the depths of a hidden government facility, we are bringing the "classic movie" experience back to a new generation.

Beyond the Backlot is taking its next step in filmmaking. We’ve spent years analyzing the masters of cinema, and Project Eden is the first step in our journey to bring heart, scale, and practical effects back to independent cinema. We aren't just making a film; we're building a cinematic universe.
