MOONSHOT

God I Hope This Works

In post-production

With a year of runway left, Sandgarden scraps nearly two years of work and starts over as AI keeps moving the target.

The film

The future is moving.
So are the goalposts.

AI has changed what small teams can build. Figuring out what anyone will pay for that output is another story.

Moonshot follows Sandgarden employees as they try to turn ideas into a viable business. Plans change. Products take shape. Decisions have to be made before anyone knows whether they’re the right ones.

It’s a story about grief, uncertainty, communication, love, and the peculiar business of trying to hit a moving target as AI constantly redefines what the target actually is.

Inside Sandgarden

A company.
A group of people.
A lot on the line.

From separate rooms, a small remote team tries to figure it out together. Liz, Marty and their colleagues are making the calls… and living with what comes next.

With unprecedented, unlimited access—to all internal company meetings, interviews with employees who quit or were laid off, and life on-site in people’s homes—the filmmakers follow the team’s quest to develop a product with a year of runway left, limited leads, and personal tribulations.
