Pawn Sacrifice

A radio play completed using Zoom meetings during the pandemic of 2020. Features the acting talents of students and professionals in the Atlanta, GA area.

The story is set many thousands of years in the future. A young mother explains to her daughter why she is said to have "two fathers" and how the colony ship survived its encounter with the dreaded Galactic Fellowship.

The voices for Gana and Cortana were generated through voice-modification software. The video of the recording sessions is available here: https://youtu.be/a6XLm4zyVtk
