Sol

Every year, teams of young men are sent from the Earth’s finest academies to compete in the Sol Invictus competition.

The teams are teleported to a remote planet and the winners are the first team to pinpoint the position of our Sun, except this time something goes wrong with the portal and only a handful of members from each team make it through, ending up on a hostile planet without most of their equipment.

Think of it as an intergalactic Lord of the Flies, with astronomy. This is fantastic example of indie sci-fi and what can be done with a great idea, the right locations and a limited number of props and special effects, and is particularly recommended for anyone wanting to make a low-budget feature.
