Production


Production on Xero Error commenced in November 2009 and completed by March 2010 . Xero Error is UAE's first film produced using computer-generated imagery.[7] It is also the first film for production company Xpanse CGI, which has worked previously in commercial advertising. In December 2008, Xpanse officials were in Houston, in attempts to raise the financing to cover the budget.[1]

Although the budget needed for a feature-length version of the film was not raised, it was produced as an eight-minute short and completed independently at Xpanse CGI. Volunteers from social media channels were enlisted to complete the film. Actors were auditioned after a Twitter and Facebook campaign.[8][9]


Release


The film had its world premiere at the 3rd Gulf Film Festival,[10][11] April 2010 in Dubai UAE. It was also featured at the 63rd Festival de Cannes, the 10th edition of Sci-Fi-London[12] and other international film festivals.

Following its release, Xpanse CGI were seeking investors to produce Xero Error for TV & film.[13]
