- Synopsis: In the not too distant future, the United States fails to regain its position as the global economic and military power. Citizens turn away from central authority and instead seek strong, local leaders for direction. The Federal government loses authority, resulting in states seceding from the union and the ultimate creation of nation-states.
In the American Southwest, a genius bio-tech researcher defeats cancer and overnight gains not only wealth and fame, but power he claims is given to him by the hand of God. He offers his employees and their families jobs, safety, comfort, and a lavish lifestyle not enjoyed since the Roman empire. He rules not just a company, but a growing empire. How far will he go to maintain control?Monitor Gray is an intelligent Sci-Fi expertly crafted to not only entertain, but to address key issues of our time: the power of corporations to control those beyond their immediate reach, the ability for individuals to ignore economic disparities as long as their own lives are awash in full comfort, and the ramification of blending political and religious leadership.
The Explorers
- Initiated: June 2011
- Genre: Documentary
- Status: Interviews conducted at Arizona State University’s SESE research center for Cosmology, NASA Ames in Mountain View, California, an astronomy camp in the Adirondacks of upstate New York, and the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth department of Astrophysics. Approximately twenty hours footage. Trailer in production.
- Synopsis: We live in an incredible time. This decade alone will see the upheaval and reconstitution of what we believe about the universe around us, and perhaps of the supernatural as well. I want to dig deeper, not into pseudo-science as with “What the #$*! Do We Know!?” or more Tom Shadyac’s “I am,” but into the real stuff that is magical within the confines of the laws of physics and brilliance of humanity. I am motivated by the weekly news of so many new discoveries: planets circling distant stars, the particle responsible for gravity isolated; and the potential of travel faster than the speed of light. This film project sets out to capture the passion, the drive of real scientists conducting real research. Not just another computer generated tour-de-force, The Explorers is as much a journey into philosophy as it is into the breathtaking science of our day.
