Meet the Space Program, the Producing Collective Behind Buzzy Cannes Film ‘The Plague’: ‘For Indie Movies, It’s Not One Size Fits All’


The Space Program, a producing collective behind the Cannes film 'The Plague' and Zoey Deutch's next project, on their filmmaking philosophy.

The eerie film, which the Space Program team liken to the work of Todd Field, but required a global search to find the right setting and the necessary incentives. Early buzz on the film is strong and Polinger has already lined up a new project, A24’s “The Masque of the Red Death” with Sydney Sweeney tapped for the lead role. Part of that means that the Space Program will keep rolling the money it makes on different productions into the next one, hustling to keep projects moving forward in a business where films frequently fall apart at the last minute.
