Overview

On a distant planet, astronauts Byron (played by Brandon Santana) and Fang (played by Zaya Ribeiro) land in a state of stasis. Technology on their ship brings them back to consciousness, and pre-recorded voice over messages from each other start to explain that they have been sent here from Earth and will require some time to get their bearings. A virtual reality presentation starts up, that explains the history of life on Earth, from the earliest single-cell organisms evolving up to humankind and the environmental devastation of the anthropocene. Due to ecological collapse, humans have had to take to the stars, making only occasional visits back to their home planet. Byron and Fang have been chosen to bring life to a new world in the hopes that they will take greater care of this ecosystem. After the presentation is done, the two take their first steps onto the surface of the new world, and technology from their ship covers it with greenery.

Jungle Run Production Services

For Postcard from Earth, Jungle Run supported 70 foreign and local crew over 4 days filming inside a steaming volcano.

Logistics included 100 helicopter sorties, 200 porters, 150 onscreen extras, remote catering, bespoke porta-potties, a radio repeater network and housing for a caldera-rim data center sucking up 32 gigabytes per second. Plus hazmat kit for the clouds of sulfuric acid.

The team that filmed the NASA rockets for ‘Postcard’ said our volcano shoot sounded like… “rocket science”.
