BIG & Digital Releases Space Next 3D in 6P Laser in National Infantry Museum’s New Giant Screen Theater

Author: Administrator Account/Wednesday, December 02, 2015/Categories: Latest Headlines

December 2, 2015—The official U.S. premiere of Space Next 3D, a space documentary produced by Afterglow Studios and distributed by BIG & Digital, takes place December 4 in the newly renovated Giant Screen Theater at the National Infantry Museum (Columbus, Georgia). The theater has undergone a $1.8 million renovation, which includes the conversion from film projection to state-of-the-art digital. The theater's new 6P Christie laser projection system will be the first of its kind in the Southeast, and the first to show Space Next 3D to the public.

“Space Next is a stunning film that takes audiences on a journey of mankind’s pursuit of the stars. It's a great film for our new theater,” said Jordan Beck, Creative Director for the Theater at the National Infantry Museum.

“Space Next brings us up to speed on where we’ve been, where we are now, and boldly ventures beyond today to tell the story of where we are going; all in breathtaking, state-of-the art imagery and evocative sound design to transport audiences to the future,” said Tina Ratterman, president of BIG & Digital.

Producer Luke Ployhar explained, “We worked with leading scientists and consultants from NASA and other institutions to create the visuals and story of Space Next. The film presents actual possibilities of what lies in the future of space development and exploration. The attention to detail of the visual effects are perfect for this topic on the Giant Screen.”

The film is available in all Digital formats, including flat screen and fulldome, 4K and 8K, 2D and 3D. Run times include 38 and 25 minutes. The film is supported with a comprehensive marketing campaign and includes a 23-page Educator's Guide with activities to support Next Generation Science Standards.

Space Next 3D will have its European premiere on December 17 at Tycho Brahe Planetarium in Copenhagen.

BIG & Digital has worldwide distribution rights of all formats. Sub-Distribution Partners include Evans & Sutherland (Fulldome worldwide, excluding Japan) and D&D Pictures (Fulldome and Flat Screen in Japan).
