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.
