OVUM, a chilling sci-fi short film centering reproductive rights, makes its online debut on Gunpowder & Sky’s DUST SFF YouTube Channel.

The latest project from acclaimed director Cidney Hue tells the story of *Rosalyn (Michelle Beck), a woman coerced by the government into undergoing a bizarre, mentally invasive procedure before she can make a momentous decision about her future.

Listen to our in-depth interview with director Cidney Hue on our EYE ON SCI-FI Podcast!

With OVUM, Hue tells a disturbing story which is eerily prescient given the current battle raging over the reproductive rights of women.

Watch the trailer for OVUM below, and make plans to watch this powerful and affecting sci-fi short film.

*Correction: The character’s name actress Michelle Beck portrays is Rosalyn. Her character was originally misidentified in this article as Ryan Quinn, the actor who co-stars in the short film.
