The Story
After another 9/11 style attack the government passed the "Freedom of Observation Act," a sweeping new law requiring all cameras to be linked into the Optical Defense Intelligence Network, a single, all-seeing system known as ODIN and creating specialized, new, mobile, robotic surveillance cameras called EYEBORGS that watch everyone, all the time, for suspicious behavior in an effort to help law enforcement keep America safe.
After a series of fatal "accidents" an agent for the Department of Homeland Security (Adrian Paul) grows suspicious of the system because the physical evidence doesn't match up to what the video records show. Now he must work outside the system to find out who is really controlling the Eyeborgs, but how can you work outside a system that can see your every move all the time?
With the help of a broadcast journalist (Megan Blake) and a purple haired Punk Rocker (Luke Eberl) who turns out to be the President's nephew, he comes to believe terrorists have seized control of our system and are planning to use the Eyeborgs against us in a plot to assassinate the President during the final debate of the election.
Who I'd like to meet: Wall*E, HAL-9000, Bender, Gort, "Robby the Robot", the Robot from "Lost in Space", Optimus Prime, Number Five, The Terminator, T-9000, Bishop ("Aliens"). Ash ("Alien") and any other great cinematic machine characters. We love robots! Robot movies are cool and we love to watch 'em. What are your favorite robots from TV and movies?
We’re looking to network with animators on short film projects. We can supply music and scripts along with some laughs. Check out our MySpace page for examples of our work.
We just spotted your Mars Lander putting billboards up on our world with CHANGE spelled out in mile high letters. You should grab your binoculars and check this out. Just look up. But you should also be prepared to duck if you see any tools tumbling towards you from the international space station. Some stupid astronaut let his monkey wrench float away. On second thought, you should activate your Star Wars Defense System and blast the international space station out of existence! You can’t be too careful. Space Trash can be dangerous!
I am so extremely stoked for you film to be premiering at the London Sci FI Festival! Fran, John, Adrian and Yourself are going to kick some major ass!! Being such a sci fi and horror genre geek, I am honored to have worked on such an amazing project. Richard, go get'em!!!! Cheers, MB
