WEBVTT -- English 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:06.233 Let me tell you why science fiction is important. 00:00:06.613 --> 00:00:10.490 It sparks our imagination and forces us to confront our own biases. 00:00:10.492 --> 00:00:13.894 It both warns us, and encourages us to be better people. 00:00:14.125 --> 00:00:16.661 And it does all this in creative and exciting ways. 00:00:16.661 --> 00:00:19.231 Take cloning for example. We can already do this now, 00:00:19.477 --> 00:00:22.219 and making digital back-ups of brains isn’t that far off. 00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:26.998 Now imagine if you could make hundreds of clones of yourself, that each shared each other's memories. 00:00:27.085 --> 00:00:29.897 They’d learn incredibly fast through parallel experience, 00:00:29.942 --> 00:00:33.929 and yet, they’d still be people. What would that do to society? 00:00:33.930 --> 00:00:39.381 That’s the world of our short film. It follows a guy on election night, whose clones have exceeded all of his hopes and dreams. 00:00:39.381 --> 00:00:41.835 And now one has been elected President. 00:00:41.835 --> 00:00:43.835 It's called 'The Replacement' 00:00:45.994 --> 00:00:53.098 We know the Kickstarter community values original content, and we’re excited to engage with fans who love a unique project. 00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.878 Yes, she means you. Let us know what you think! 00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:57.959 I have over a decade of filmmaking experience. 00:00:57.984 --> 00:01:04.379 I’ve produced over forty short films, commercials, and music videos and I’ve developed feature films for high caliber actors. 00:01:04.418 --> 00:01:06.418 Yup. He’s made movies before. 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:11.019 I develop design concepts for major brands, and manage creative teams, day in and day out. 00:01:11.486 --> 00:01:13.486 And I run a film set like no one else. 00:01:13.811 --> 00:01:15.811 Yeah, she’s the big boss. 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.420 I’ve overseen production on an agency level, and done everything from commercials to feature films. 00:01:21.352 --> 00:01:23.352 He knows how to cut corners. 00:01:23.352 --> 00:01:27.304 I made several short films, a web series, and three features that all found distribution. 00:01:27.305 --> 00:01:29.305 Yes he did. 00:01:29.305 --> 00:01:32.540 It goes without saying that making a movie takes a small army. 00:01:32.542 --> 00:01:40.004 Our team of producers is cashing in all their favors to create this rich world with practical, cost effective solutions. 00:01:40.004 --> 00:01:44.698 We all have unique experiences with stretching small budgets, to make big looking movies. 00:01:44.927 --> 00:01:51.412 For the clones, we’ll be doing tricks like using identical twins for situations where characters need to share objects or props. 00:01:51.555 --> 00:01:57.328 And in other instances we’ll be doing visual effects for situations where we have actors who don’t have biological twins, 00:01:57.346 --> 00:01:59.346 which is like all of them. 00:02:00.007 --> 00:02:03.551 It’s about identity, and what happens when that’s taken away from you at your core. 00:02:03.552 --> 00:02:07.649 Your opinions, your dreams, everything about you that makes you unique. 00:02:07.868 --> 00:02:10.419 Would you give all that up to make the world a better place? 00:02:10.419 --> 00:02:14.699 Would that world still be our world or would we just be creating our own replacements? 00:02:14.747 --> 00:02:17.058 And would that necessarily be a bad thing? 00:02:17.307 --> 00:02:21.430 The money we raise here guarantees the movie looks worthy of the big screen. 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.038 A polished look, amazing locations, and some incredible visual effects. 00:02:26.287 --> 00:02:29.588 But beyond that, once the film gets finished, we still have to make sure the film gets seen. 00:02:29.736 --> 00:02:34.889 That means festival submissions, hardcopies shipped for exhibition, and marketing to attract audiences. 00:02:35.164 --> 00:02:39.209 I’m looking forward to helping Sean bring his brand of dark humor to the science fiction genre. 00:02:39.230 --> 00:02:44.008 If you wanna see a movie that is thought provoking, risk taking, and leaves a lasting impact, THIS is the movie to support. 00:02:44.036 --> 00:02:47.582 So if you wanna help us bring a compelling story like this to life, please donate. 00:02:47.584 --> 00:02:52.269 And if you can’t afford it, share this video on Facebook and Twitter so we can reach more people. 00:02:52.659 --> 00:02:54.698 Thanks for watching.
