South by Southwest Music, Interactive, and Film Festival is in full effect in Austin, Texas. There are many low-budget indie movies that will premiere among smaller studio releases such as Jon Favreau’s Chef and the Veronica Mars movie. The main draw for SXSW’s film slate is the indie films that didn’t make the cut for the Sundance Film Festival a few months ago. Among them is a new science fiction comedy called Space Station 76.

THR reports that Space Station 76 will find its way into theaters soon. Jack Plotnick co-wrote and directed the film, which features a story about “a group of people (and several robots) living on a space station in a 1970’s-version of the future who are forced to confront their darkest secrets when a new Assistant Captain arrives and inadvertently ignites tensions among the crew.” Jennifer Cox, Sam Pancake, Kali Rocha, and Michael Stoyanov also co-wrote Space Station 76. The film premiered on March 8 as part of the Visions section during SXSW.
