Writer and filmmaker Keasey is reported to have said, “Our film will not only honour all those involved in the submersible tragedy, and their families, but the feature will serve as a vessel that also addresses a more macro concern about the nature of media today.”
He added, “Truth is all that matters. And the world has a right to know the truth, always, not the salacious bait crammed down our throats by those seeking their five minutes of fame. Life is not black and white, It’s complicated. There’s nuance. Always nuance.”
As a movie about OceanGate Titan Submersible Tragedy in the works, the Titan submarine captured the attention of the entire world in June 2023 when it mysteriously vanished on a deep sea dive to examine the Titanic’s wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean, losing contact with its mother ship an hour and 45 minutes into the dive.
The oxygen supply on the submersible slowly ran out, and the five-person crew, which included British businessman Hamish Harding, former French Navy diver Paul-Henry Nargeolot, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, and British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, were all dead.
The Titan submersible was thought to have exploded on the spot four days after it vanished when debris was found close to the original Titanic wreck by a remotely operated underwater vehicle.
