"The cast and crew are delighted with the success of OTOSOTU, our second major art film, the first being WINNOWING, says Auteur Director and actor Daniel S. Janik. "OTOSOTU relies almost solely on its originality and drama-mystery rather than gratuitous violence to capture and hold viewer interest."

OTOSOTU is a SciFu film about alien contact and the significance of the human soul. "I included much of what I learned from NASA about establishing first contact."

This extraordinary film is currently in FREE public screening on YouTube to the first 1,000 viewers at https://youtu.be/Hr29crqeFEA, joining WINNOWING at https://youtu.be/lwZbCAjOFdc.



Filming has begun on our next production, Audience with a Vampyre.
