Cannes Short Film Corner Screens Jamie is Alone as Part of the 48 Hour Film Project
Cannes, France (May 20, 2026 ). VisionRey Entertainment presents a sci-fi short film titled Jamie is Alone. The short film will screen at the Cannes Short Film Corner. It screens as part of the internationally recognized 48 Hour Film Project. The date is on May 20 at 1:00 PM in Room H.
Jamie is Alone is executive produced by Allison Marie Reyes. The film brings together a creative team led by Director Scott McKinney and writer April Yanko. The short is for a tense, emotionally driven story that blends psychological isolation with dark humor and science fiction suspense.
Set aboard a remote space outpost long after contact with Earth has faded, Jamie is Alone follows a technician slowly unraveling under the weight of loneliness, routine, and the eerie silence of deep space. But when an unexpected intruder sparks a station-wide emergency, survival becomes secondary to something even more dangerous: connection.
At its core, the film explores the fragile line between duty and companionship, asking what happens when the thing you fear most may also be the only thing standing between you and complete isolation.
The short stars Conrad Wrobel, Brett Richard Kelly, Samantha Alvarado, Allison Marie Reyes, and Sierra Sterling.
Created under the intense time constraints of the 48 Hour Film Project, Jamie is Alone combines ambitious sci-fi storytelling with an intimate emotional core, delivering a character-driven experience that speaks to loneliness, humanity, and the universal need for connection.
At a time when so many people are grappling with isolation, disconnection, and the search for genuine human connection, Jamie is Alone offers a timely reminder that companionship, empathy, and understanding may be what ultimately saves us.
