Milk was the principal VFX vendor on STXfilms’ feature film Adrift, the Baltasar Kormákur-directed true story of survival at sea, starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin.

The Milk team created all the major water and storm sequences for the feature, including bespoke 100-foot waves, all of which were rendered entirely in the cloud. Milk VFX Supervisor Sara Bennett lead the team on the lost-at-sea, romantic drama for STXFilms.

The film’s screenplay is by Aaron Kandell, Jordan Kandell, and David Branson Smith, based on the book “Red Sky in Mourning: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea” by Ashcraft with Susea McGearhart.
