The film explores the actions Titanic’s wireless operators, Senior Operator John ‘Jack’ Phillips and Junior Operator Harold Bride, throughout Titanic's voyage.

The story of the making of the film is as amazing as the film itself, as Tom describes how his family and friends worked to bring the film to life!

-The length Tom and the cast went to, to achieve historical accuracy.

Raised Questions:

-Do limited resources create the need for creative film-making?

-Where did the inspiration for the film come from?

-How did the cast end up filming from 2am-4am in a Titanic museum?

-Will the footage of Tom's Dad as Senator Smith ever be released?
