The Australian filmmaker personally handled compositing, clean-up, sky replacements, screen graphics, lighting enhancements, and digital sets, as well as construction of the film’s space-time engine, over several years.
Queensland filmmaker Justin Leggereit delivered over 800 VFX shots for the recently released sci-fi feature Space/Time, which is available on VOD across Australia and New Zealand on platforms including Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Foxtel Store, Fetch, and Sky. Distributed by Umbrella Entertainment, it will be available on DVD September 3.

Aiming to create a high-quality film on a tight budget, the production team leveraged Leggereit’s one-man-team talents for compositing, clean-up, sky replacements, screen graphics, lighting enhancements, digital sets, and construction of the film’s space-time engine. He worked for several years alongside director Michael O’Halloran to craft the film’s visual language.
“We would often replace skies, swap out windows, extend sets wherever possible — enhancing what was already there to help create a world beyond the edges of the frame,” said Leggereit. “Every step of the way, we were making something we would want to see ourselves in cinemas.”
Produced by Mohworks Films, Space/Time stars Ashlee Lollback, Hugh Parker, and Pacharo Mzembe. The project follows a group of scientists developing an engine for interstellar travel. When a breakthrough leads to a fatal disaster, their project is shut down – and the disgraced team must turn to the criminal underworld to continue their work on a space-time device.
Co-written by O’Halloran and Adam Harmer, the film also features an orchestral score by Adrian Diery, performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
