Project London (movie) short synopsis: Project London is a special effects-rich science fiction movie about a grief-stricken young man who joins a ragtag resistance force and engages in epic battles against Joint Command to avenge his father and save the planet.

Project Manhattan (prequel novella) short synopsis: An orphaned and powerful alien race arrive on planet earth during the chaos of World War II with a proposition that brings peace in exchange for a place to live. Dealing with a sinister secret with the power to decimate the planet is the thrust of this prequel to the upcoming movie, Project London.

Synopsis: A homeless race of aliens known as Nalardians have found and been given refuge on Earth. A young man, Nebraska Higgins, is unwittingly thrust into a struggle for a planet in peril. His enigmatic father and sole pilot of the iconic robotic green exosuit, Arizona, is taken from him during a hot pursuit by the Joint Command (the global police and military force). The London Underground, a rag tag resistance force, appear to be interested in recruiting Nebraska, but he’s confused by his tragic loss and manipulative Joint Command Officers. Old and secret government experiments gone horribly wrong have been resurrected with horrific ramifications. Can Nebraska come to grips with the loss of his father as interplanetary calamities threaten to destroy the world around him? The fate of the planet hangs on the potential in a young man’s heart.

The visual effects for the film are being created using Blender, open source software. This is perhaps the first feature length film to combine live action elements with animations created using Blender. Which is why there are thousands of Blender users around the globe anxiously awaiting the release of this film.

Our release plans include entering the film in festivals, securing distribution through iTunes and Netflix and selling disks and merchandise directly from the film’s web site. Ramping up to the release, there will be significant efforts to reach the film’s audience through social media, a series of viral videos, press releases to appropriate media and other marketing stratagems. The release will begin with select city premieres and appearances at sci-fi and graphic novel conventions and events.

Additional promotional considerations are available including co-branding on limited runs of disks and packaging. Each of our select city premieres are prime co-branding opportunities. And we are completely open to creating special events for large groups including companies interested in including a showing of the film.
