For
three years, dozens of Cleveland filmmakers joined forces to create
what is being hailed as a magnificent, lavish science-fiction epic;
an epic told with 3,000 costumed extras, over a dozen studios to create
450 digital effects and 48 massive locations including NASA, nuclear
power plants, prisons and cathedrals.
The incredible scope of this movie makes it one of the biggest independent
movies made in the history of cinema. This extraordinary saga of totalitarian
rule in the post-nuclear future is clearly setting the benchmark for
moviemaking. Produced digitally for an astounding $20,000, audiences
have marveled at the multimillion dollar look of what a new era of filmmakers
has offered.
The
Plot
One takes place 72 years after the third world war in a utopian nation-state built upon the struggles of post-nuclear survivors. Glittering cityscapes pierce the vast industrial wastelands as a new era of prosperity begins. But not all is at it seems as dreams of a masterpiece society fall prey to man’s relentless pursuit of perfection.
This
is the story of Orin Stalward, a young man whose admittance to New Athens
Military Academy marks him as one of the best and brightest young men
in the world, and destined to become one of the ruling elite.
Within
days of his arrival, Orin learns of an underground resistance movement
called Spectrum whose terrorist activities continuously hinder the peaceful
aire of New Athens. Despite the broadcasted violence, Orin continues
his education with remarkable skill and is soon noticed by Chancellor
Derek Strombourg who affords him the opportunity to work as his assistant.
Orin's
success brings him promotions and the respect of the community while
his curiosity in Spectrum grows. One day, he is assigned to work with
Mira DelForna, the city's security chief. Throughout their developing
relationship, Orin begins questioning the powerful hand of the government,
much to Mira’s disdain.
The
awful truth suddenly becomes apparent during a visit to the nearby city
of Parcenon where Orin and Mira discover a vast network of underground
laboratories used for conducting cloning and genetic engineering experiments
on the student of New Athens.
The
school is nothing more than a test site to find the genetic cornerstone
for a new race of people, impervious to disease, with higher intelligence
who will embody the principles of utopia. While searching the lab, Orin
is horrified to find a clone of himself. It is he who is the cornerstone.
