OCCUPATION: RAINFALL CHAPTER 2
Survival or extinction. Following the international success of ‘Occupation Rainfall’, comes the continuing chapters of the ‘Rainfall’ trilogy. Earth’s resistance is thrown into chaos as an ominous new threat ruthlessly hunts down the humans that are left, and any aliens who have joined them. With no clear leader and struggling to find common ground, the resistance finds itself on the brink of destruction. Aboard the Mothership, a group of survivors, plan to strike at the heart of the Alien threat – the Rainfall weapon – as the fate of all life hangs in the balance.
OCCUPATION: RAINFALL CHAPTER 2 will enter pre-production immediately following the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Filming will take place in Australia starting in the 3rd Quarter of this year. Chapters 2 and 3 are being filmed back-to-back in a custom-built LED volume stage.
Producers are Carly Sparke and Carmel Imrie. Co-Producers are Alex Becconsall, Zac Garred, and Liam McIntyre. Executive Producers are Clay Epstein, Geoff Imrie and Luke Sparke.
