The National Geographic channel have announced the release of the short film Before Mars which is the dramatic backstory of Hana and Joon Seung, identical twin sisters who will grow up to be central characters in the upcoming global event series, MARS.

Shot in Ellenville, NY, “Before Mars” is the story of twin Korean teenage girls who move to a new town with their military mom. Hana, a bit of a nerd, finds a ham radio and with the help of an Elmer, makes contact with the International Space Station.

The amateur radio researcher on the project was Michael Gilmer N2MG.
