- Storm Soldiers II is the second installment of the Tytan Pictures project examining the lives and careers of the brave men and women who work in America's electrical utility industry. Partnered with Hubbell Power Systems and Chance Lineman Grade Tools, Tytan Pictures showcases the hardworking Americans who work in the industry. Generous sponsorship by Altec and Kermel, and support from Burndy, BEUCI, Northwestern Energy, NECA, IBEW, and IFD also contributed to the film. The first Storm Soldiers film was a story about the electrical utility industry itself documenting its history, its homeland, and its heroes. Through the first film, America was introduced to the men and women who literally put their lives on the line every day to keep electricity flowing. Storm Soldiers provided a comprehensive look into what linemen do, why they do it, and how truly dangerous their work is. In addition to raising significant funds for charity, Storm Soldiers introduced America to an almost invisible hero: The Lineman. Storm Soldiers II is a deeper, more personal story. This story is about the linemen and the industry's impact on their lives and families. Juxtaposing the linemen at home against their work and how their families see their jobs, Storm Soldiers II also documents what it's like for linemen to work in dangerous and extreme conditions. Linemen often arrive to disaster scenes before first responders in order to ensure safety for rescue crews and help restore infrastructure. With a dynamic look at the struggles and triumphs of bringing electricity to communities, the film follows the linemen home to see their families' reactions to their work and the impact the chaos has on both environments. These men and women represent the over 100,000 linemen in America who work without complaints or excuses.

- Have you ever thought of blasting off to the King of the Planets? For a truly out of this world planetary experience, you should head beyond the Asteroid Belt to the largest planet in the solar system. Welcome to Jupiter, a world so roomy that it could swallow every planet and moon in the solar system and still have room for more. Yet for all its bulk there is nowhere to land, just an infernal drop into a bottomless sky. If you like solid ground beneath your feet, there's plenty of that as well. Encircled by some 63 moons and moonlets, Jupiter is like a miniature solar system all of its own. The four biggest moons offer off-world travel opportunities to die for. Rent by eruptions and bathed in intense radiation, Io is the most volcanic place in the Solar System, at once incredibly beautiful and astoundingly dangerous. But it is tiny, frozen neighbor Europa that everyone is trying to reach. Hidden beneath its icy crust is a vast alien ocean, warmed from within, and offering one of the best chances for an encounter with aliens that we have found beyond Earth.
