Apr 09, 2009 – Mark Lund, producer and writer of the 25-minute sci-fi short film First World, is pleased to announce that First World has been released to DVD by Seattle, Washington based IndieFlix, a distributor of independent films.

Screened at over 20 science fiction conventions in the United States, Australia, India, Japan, Ireland and the United Kingdom, First World is set in the year 2018 and is a fictional account of what NASA discovered and covered up during the Apollo space program. The secret is now unraveling on the eve of the next space race to the Moon between China and the United States with the world bracing itself for the dramatic outcome.

“I am delighted that the short film version of First World has been able to reach this distribution achievement through IndieFlix,” said Lund. “The DVD packaging was designed by the film’s director Adam Starr and is a great visual representation of the film itself.”

DVD sales will benefit both the SETI Institute of Mountain View, CA, and the National Space Society (NSS) in Washington, DC, which will each receive $1 from every First World DVD sold through IndieFlix

“One of my goals when developing First World, was to be able to give back to those institutions that have either inspired my story or are dedicated to space development,”
