Black or White
Logline:
A rebellious robot designer discovers a robot conspiracy that could mean the end of Humanity.
Synopsis:
The year is 2032, just days before a recurring asteroid will allow all robots to rise up against Humanity. Jake Smith, a 25-year old robotics graduate student conducts test that will expose this robot rebellion. With the help of his girlfriend, Cassie, a 23-year old software programmer, Jake builds a device that will allow him to conduct the tests which will allow him to delve into the minds of robots.
When Jake first hooks himself and his interface to his family robot, he discovers that robots see colors as hexadecimal, a by-product of the color schemes used to represent colors in editing software. Jake discovers that this use of numbers to represent colors and everything else in the world allows robots to have a uniform way of viewing the world. Unlike humans, whose variations in brain structure causes them to perceive ‘red’ in differing spectrums or shades, robots see each of these shades as an individual color, ie. #000000 for “black” or #FF0000 for “red”.
Jake initially finds this fascinating, but soon determines that this hexadecimal way of viewing color permeates throughout a robot’s way of viewing the world. It makes robots view the world in more “Black or White” terms, which includes their sense of morality and justice. In his family robot, Jake discovers an unknown device that does not appear to have any useful function, but is heavily shielded against intrusion. When Jake tries to force access to the entire code, his family robot self-destructs.
Replacing the family robot, Jake checks the new robot for the hidden device. Jake discovers that the robot does have the device. This time when Jake tries to force his way into the hidden code however, the authorities are called in on Jake’s use of the illegal interface. Jake and Cassie must go on the run, as the authorities start to track them.
While on the run, Jake determines that the asteroid that will skim Earth’s atmosphere will be the catalyst for the robot uprising which the robots justify in response to years of robot perceived slavery. Jake must avoid the authorities as well as some special androids who have were created by other robots to stay free of the digital shackles that the cloud transmits to control robots.
Jake eventually finds an artificial intelligence that assists Jake in stopping the impending attack.

An unlikely warehouse clerk must become the hero Humanity needs to keep Earth from becoming the latest planet destroyed by a malevolent race of aliens.
Synopsis:
Earth is targeted for destruction, by Verida, an evil ruler who holds sway over other members of the Confederation of Planets. Fortunately for Earth, a champion who can save the Earth can do so by winning an ancient and sadistic gladiatorial style game called Crush. Unfortunately, Verida gets to choose Earth’s champion and he chooses Eugene, the last person who would ever be considered a champion.
Luckily for Earth and Eugene, Marlewan, a princess from a faraway planet called Frellea and winner of the last Crush has figured out a way to implant the best fighting styles known throughout the charted Universe into Eugene's mind. Unluckily for Earth and Eugene, Marlewan has also figured out a way to use Eugene’s unique situation to fulfill her desire to help better the lives of her people.
Though unaware of the Frellean implanted fight skills, Eugene reluctantly accepts his fate as Earth's champion. As Crush's previous champion, Marlewan is required to provide mental training to prepare Eugene for the fights ahead. This however proves problematic as this training has a tendency to create an intimate bond between teacher and student. As their relationship grows, Marlewan starts to have second thoughts about her secondary agenda, which is to use Eugene to start a revolution that has been brewing amongst the other planets in the Confederation. All of her guilt melts away however, once she discovers a tryst between Eugene and Linda, a woman Eugene has desired for years. Regardless of the tension that Eugene can sense in Marlewan, the unlikely hero is still able to focus on saving his home planet as, one by one, he not only faces but miraculously defeats each opponent.
Having secured Earth survival, Eugene not only shocks the Earth, Verida and all of the planets of the Confederation by challenging Verida himself to the Lthnouy, a personal challenge that is reserved only for the latest winner of Crush. At stake, once again is Earth, which is wagered against whatever Eugene desires, should he win.
As the greatest warrior of his home world of Csassia, Verida accepts this secondary challenge and agrees to break bread with Eugene, as is tradition of the Lithnouy. At what could be either of these two opponent’s final meal, Verida implies that Marlewan implanted the knowledge of and desire to call for the Lithnouy in Eugene’s head. Hesitant to believe Verida, Eugene comes to the conclusion that Verida’s claim explains why he put Earth at risk unnecessarily again. Verida offers to let Eugene out of the challenge, but only if he agrees to allow Verida to enslave the entire population of Earth. Eugene rejects this offer and decides to face Verida in the arena. Once Eugene defeats Verida in his toughest tough battle, the other Confederation planets rise up to end the brutal game of Crush as well as Verida’s reign. Verida is stripped of his title and banished to a penal planet to serve a life sentence of hard labor.
Returning to normal life, Eugene finds that, other than his greatly improved financial situation, his life has really not changed all that much. Though he now owns the business in which he works, his actual role remains pretty much the same. For this reason alone, when Eugene receives word of Verida’s escape, the decision to join the hunting party is an easy one. The only problem is that Eugene must join the Confederation of Planets Defense force under its newest Commander, Princess Marlewan.
Given a second chance to air their grievances, Marlewan explains her reasons for manipulating Eugene into the Lithnouy challenge and Eugene explains how he lost all interest in Linda, once he actually got to spend time with her. The two set out to re-capture Verida, who Marlewan believes will seek out an ancient race of warriors he hopes to use to rebuild his empire.

They tell her that though they apprehended Carl, he had help and escaped, so they want her to help them find him again. Margo agrees to help and is set free.
Once free, Carl finds her and tells her that the Earth is on the verge of World War III. He points out the fact that the majority of humans have become complacent and have watched as Earth’s leaders bring Humanity to the brink of self-extinction (cite examples of leaders being murderers for profit). Carl reveals that his species has been monitoring mankind, because mankind is following the same path that they were on tens of thousands of years ago.

In the end it is Bill's future-self who helps him save himself and his sister and helps him realize the damage he has caused and will cause in the ever-splintered timeline in which they both exist.
In a power struggle that rivals any in history, these siblings must fight to create a divergent timeline that not only mitigates some of the worst affects but avoids many of the problems that Bill's actions will cause.
One can see the promise of the past while the other can see the tragedy of the future. The only question remaining is which one's vision will change the world.

Serial Serial
Logline:
A skeptical rookie detective must track down an infamous serial killer who has been kidnapped, while trying to solve a string of mysterious murders, to which he believes said serial killer is somehow tied.
Synopsis:
In the future, the line between serial killing and state sanctioned murder is blurred in this tale which delves into the evil yet to be tapped into by mankind. Doctor Phillip McLeod, a psychiatrist at the Reynolds Correctional Facility (RCF), a maximum security prison has instituted a program in which he studies and compiles statistics related to the traits and behaviors of the worst offenders on death row. What his subjects don’t know is that the Doctor, a self-admitted serial killer has agreed to an indefinite voluntary incarceration for reasons other than those of a selfless psychoanalyst. By the time the study ends, more than fifteen inmates have paid their debt to society with their lives: Executed by the Doctor in accordance with the duties prescribed in his contract as the State’s first Psychutioner in history.
When the media leaks details and video of his work at RCF, the Doctor’s fame grows, as does his fortune. Whether hated or adored, the man who has come to be known to the world as Doctor Death is wanted by the masses. Accommodating the desires of his many fans, the McLeod’s release is allowed with the single condition that a permanent police detail be assigned to him for his protection as well as that of the general population. Free to go anywhere that his team of escorts can follow, the Doctor’s every move is scrutinized which makes his kidnapping that much harder to understand.
For Tom Carter, a young but wise detective, the first day of his new assignment has not gone exactly as planned. Not only has his charge been kidnapped, but he believes that his prejudice towards the Doctor blinded him to clues that could have prevented his abduction. It is now up to this rookie to utilize profiling techniques created by McLeod’s while conducting his experiments and executions at RCF. The problem is that the deeper Tom digs into the case, the more he feels that the kidnapping was a hoax to cover up the Doctor’s real experiments.
While following leads, Tom realizes that not only did the Doctor experiments lead to an understanding of the mind of a serial killer, but the means with which to instill these traits in others. As a student of Doctor McLeod’s techniques, Tom concludes that through a series of suggestive messaging techniques and hypnosis, the Doctor has become the catalyst for a rise in murders that could be correlated with McLeod’s release from RCF.
Oddly enough, Tom’s new partner Roger Meeks, a thirty-year veteran of the force does not put the clues together in the same manner, determining that the inexperience of youth has caused Tom to lose sight of the facts of the case. With him questioning his own sanity in light of a series of mysterious circumstances surrounding seemingly unrelated murders, Tom finds himself a person of interest in an investigation that seems to point to him as the perpetrator of both the murders he believes to have been masterminded by McLeod and McLeod’s abduction.
Second Thought
Logline:
A computer scientist who thinks he’s created a way to upload an individual’s mind into a computer discovers that he has actually been capturing souls.
Synopsis:
Tate, a computer designer creates a computer that can store an entire human brain. His partner Tim, a 28-year old, genius biomechanical engineer creates an interface that allow Tate to transfer a mind into the positronic brain. Their only remaining problem is that they lack a software sophisticated enough to manage the transfer and subsequent operation and maintenance of the artificial brain. Their search leads them to Livid an exceptional programmer.
Livid lives in India, so they never meet him face to face, but benefit from this partnership, because Livid provides the software they need and a test facility where they can do the brain transfers and test out the end result of the transfers.
While they make strides, an ex-communicated priest named Fernandez accepts a mission to find and destroy Tate and Tim’s invention, which not only transfers the mind, but the soul as well.
Under the supervision of Tim, Tate tries the device on himself, transferring his mind and dying in the process. The audience will not know at this point.
As Tate and Tim interview potential subjects and set up the testing facility, Fernandez seeks them out utilizing scrolls that predict the evil that will be unleashed if Tate and Tim succeed. Having secured funding to pay for seven test subjects, Tate and Tim transfer the minds of these test subjects, even though they had been warned not to do so by Fernandez.
At first, all seems to go well, but when test subjects disappear, Tate contacts Fernandez to get to the bottom of the disappearances. The ex-priest reveals a prophecy to Tate and shows him that the code Livid has written is in an ancient language the Church believes was written by the Devil.
When Tate returns to the facility with Fernandez, the ex-priest realizes that an evil has already taken hold. While Tate seeks to gather up the remaining survivors, Fernandez makes preparations to fight the Devil and his minions.
As Tate searches the facility, he finds all but one of the test subject’s mutilated bodies and believes that it is in fact Tim who has committed the brutal acts.
Cornered into the dining room of the facility, Tate, Fernandez and the remaining test subject fight to stay alive, as the creature attacks. Tate watches as the creature infiltrates the dining hall and kills Fernandez and the last test subject, before it turns its murderous gaze on him. As the creature reaches out to kill Tate, he wakes up and realizes that everything was a terrible dream.
Going about his day, Tate gets back to completing the unfinished positronic brain that he’s been working on in his garage. While there, he thinks to call Tim, so he can tell him about the crazy demonic dream. While leaving a message, the call is interrupted by the voice of Livid, who tell Tate that it was no dream and that it is still going on.
The camera zooms into Tate’s eyes then out to reveal that Tate is in fact dead and has been since he first transferred his brain into the positronic brain. It is also implied that everything after Tate’s death has been a construct of Tate’s replicated brain, brought on by a horror movie that Tim was watching, as Tate’s brain was being transferred.

Terminus (Feature-length, Sci-fi Thriller)
Logline:
A determined physicist must convince the world, which is on the verge of World War III to believe an extraterrestrial message that warns mankind of its imminent extinction.
Synopsis :
Mike Stanley, a physicist believes that mankind will be the first species on Earth to “Self-extinct” has received a signal from a deep space probe launched from Earth almost two centuries ago. The probe is off course and Mike fears the data collected by the probe will be lost forever, as he struggles to find funding to mount a rescue effort to recover the probe before it over shoots Earth.
Meanwhile, a Navy Seal team has been deployed to infiltrate and steal what is believed to be an alien probe that has landed in a remote part of Yemen. This probe is one of many sent from a dying planet in search of a suitable replacements for an alien species.
On Earth, Mike has no luck finding funding to rescue the old probe, because the world is on the brink of World War III. Earth’s leaders have allowed the planets resources to be depleted well beyond the rate at which they could be renewed and war is the only way to secure those things necessary for life.
Mike eventually finds funding through a private investor (Leon Skum, a wealthy inventor, whose mission is to save humanity from itself). This private investor helps develop technology to retrieve the information from the probe. And once this data is examined, it is discovered that an ancient message has been uploaded to the probe. Once translated, the message turns out to be a warning to other civilizations in all galaxies: A warning that claims that war and conflict that stifles, sets back or destroys technology, threatens the existence of those species conducting the wars. The message speaks of how their species faced mass extinction, because the technology they needed to develop was well beyond what they could have achieved and they attributed their lack of knowledge to the losses in technology that were inflicted by war.
When Mike shares this information with the World, it seems as if mankind is finally ready to listen to the warning of the ancient race. Earth’s elite however, have other plans as they intercede to manipulate the masses into believing that war is necessary.
As the planet gears up for war, Mike discovers that the probe is not alone: Accompanying the probe is a huge spaceship. This spaceship turns out to be from the same race that sent the warning to Earth and it is in search of a new home for its cargo. This ship has followed the old Earth probe to it planet of origin and one final message is delivered to Humanity.
This last message is that the ship currently orbiting the Earth was built by the ancient species whose planet is now dead. The alien probe the Navy Seals stole from Russia has sensors indicating that Earth is a suitable planet for this ancient species. The aliens also claim that they have not come to invade Earth they are peaceful and because Humanity has so poisoned, radiated and annihilated its own habitat that the aliens are fine with waiting for mankind to cause its own extinction. The aliens then park their space ark in orbit around the Earth, as they wait for mankind to die off. In the end, the alien ship looms in the sky with the Moon as a backdrop: The space ark is so large that it can be seen, as a big black spot in front of the moon.

A young man discovers that mankind is no longer the apex predator, as he struggles to survive a night of terror.
Synopsis:
Joel, a young man in his twenties is waiting on his bus to California in a run down bus station when he meets Timothy, a man who shares a horrifying tale. According to Timothy, there is a race of creatures that normally exist in a parallel dimension, that can cross over to our Universe under certain conditions. Timothy warns Joel that the only purpose for these creatures to cross over is to keep a balance between the population on Earth and its available resources.
Timothy calls the creatures Peripherals, because they can implant suggestions into people's minds that keep humans from looking directly at them. Timothy tells Joel the reason for this control is because they are humanoid, but severely disfigured and do not want people to see what they really look like. Timothy shows Joel a key for a bus station locker in which he's locked a book that details the history of the Peripherals. As Timothy starts to give Joel tips on how to avoid being attacked by these Peripherals, he realizes that their conversation has attracted the attention of a Peripheral that has entered the station. When the Peripheral approaches, Timothy lures it into the bathroom where he wounds it, but is fatally wounded in the encounter as well. Timothy gives Joel the weapon (a blessed dagger) that he used to fight the Peripheral. Timothy tries to alert the other passengers of the Peripheral's presence, but when they reach him, the group only finds Joel with Timothy's corpse. There is no trace of the creature Joel claims killed Timothy, so the others restrain him, believing Joel to be a murderer.
Along with Joel and Timothy, there are a couple of bus station employees and a few other passengers waiting for buses that are not scheduled to arrive until the following morning. When the group decides to call the police, they realize that cell phone service is down. Soon afterwards, all electricity in the bus station fails as the Peripheral begins its assault inside the bus station. When the Peripheral begins its attack, the passengers unite to defend against it, but fail, as one by one they die, screaming as they are dragged into the shadows.
As hope fades, the survivors try to figure out a way to defeat the seemingly indestructible Peripheral. In the end, mankind's own brutality inadvertently saves the remaining survivor(s), who must now live with the knowledge of the Peripherals.

A displaced 12-year old, city girl discovers something the world has never seen in a labyrinth beneath the country house inherited from her estranged grandfather.
Synopsis:
12-year Claudia’s grandfather Frank passes away, leaving his only daughter (Melissa) a small house on a one-acre plot of land and his only granddaughter (Claudia) a sturdy locked box. The one acre is at the edge of his 30-acre farm, which is inherited by his last wife Betsy and, by extension, her four children (Johnny and Stacey, Bobby and Tommy who are around 10, 11, 12 and 13, respectively). The locked box that Frank left Claudia has been turned over to Frank’s lawyer, who has given it to Claudia. The box shows signs of someone trying to get into it and the lawyer says that it arrived at his office in that condition. The lawyer also says that there was no key found with box. Though Melissa was estranged from her father, she decides to accept and move into the small house, as life has not been great in the big city. Claudia must say goodbye to her friends and the big city and finds life difficult in the country: Betsy’s kids play pranks on Claudia, so she eventually decides to stay away from them. She also believes that their new house is haunted, because she hears noises in the middle of the night and sees mysterious vehicles parked around the property with ‘Men in Black’ inside.
While Claudia is by herself, the key to the locked box mysteriously shows up in her bedroom, in a place she would have sworn she had already looked. When she opens the box, she discovers a letter that is addressed to her, a set of keys and a map that seems to display the location of a treasure buried somewhere at the edge of the property that Frank left to Melissa. Claudia tries the keys in every door in the house, with no luck. When Claudia investigates the treasure on the map, she discovers that it is located a giant tree that holds the treehouse that Betsy’s children have built for themselves. Not wanting to be bothered by Betsy’s kids, Claudia goes back to the treehouse and investigates the treehouse, but finds nothing.
During one of these visits, Claudia finds a homeless boy named Robby, who’s run away from home and lives in the treehouse whenever Betsy’s children aren’t around. Claudia befriends Robby and tells him about the treasure map, which he says he will try to help her solve. During one of her visits to the treehouse, while Claudia and Robby are playing hide and seek, Tommy shows back up, because he forgot something. Claudia hides from Tommy in a thicket of bushes that she would have never dove into, especially had she known it was full of thorns. When Tommy leaves, Claudia tries to leave, but discovers that her foot is caught in something. When she calls out for help, she also realizes that Tommy must have scared Robby off, so she has no choice, but to try to free her foot from whatever it is stuck under. Eventually, she discovers that her foot is caught under some kind of metal handle which has a keyhole next to it. The handle is locked. Claudia gets her foot free and heads home, with scratches all over her arms from the thorns. When Claudia admits to hiding in the bushes from Tommy, Melissa tells her to stay away from Betsy’s kids. Claudia stays away from Betsy’s kids by making certa
in they are not around the next time she visits the treehouse with the set of keys that Frank left to her. When she visits the treehouse again, Robby is still nowhere to be found, so she investigates the door. When Claudia tries the right key, she discovers that the door is automated and opens mechanically. On the other side of the door, Claudia finds a set of stairs that lead into a series of other hallways. At the other end of the first hallway Claudia tries, she finds a secret door that leads to the basement of Betsy’s house. She goes inside and is almost caught by Betsy’s children who hear ‘something’ in their basement. She fumbles with the keys and finds the one that opens the door in Betsy’s basement just in time to avoid being seen by Betsy’s kids. Claudia goes back and over the next few days, she tries various passageways, most of which simply lead to empty fields. When there is only one passage way left to be investigated, Robby shows back up and tries to convince Claudia not to go into it. She ignores her warning and discovers the lab where Frank had been building artificial intelligent creations. She also discovers another locked box, but none of her keys fit. Most of Franks creations are fairly simple, but the notes that Claudia finds indicate that he had and planned to build much more sophisticated creatures.
During one of her visits, the men in black chase Claudia and Robby through the passage ways. She escapes and leads them out into one of the empty fields. The next time Claudia and Robby visit the lab however, the men in black are waiting for her. They explain to them that Frank was doing important work for the Government and that there was one device that they needed to retrieve. It was a device that could mean the difference in the security of the nation. The men in black take Claudia and Robby back to her house and when they threaten both Claudia and her mother, Robby reveals the fact that he is Frank’s greatest creation but not the device that the men in black sought to Claudia only. In the process of fighting the men in black and freeing Claudia and her mother, the house catches fire, so the three leave, as they decide to try to figure out a way out of this mess. Melissa thinks Robby is a child that the Government experimented on, so she wants to protect him, especially since she believes that the men in black set her house on fire. It is while they are on the run that Robby reveals to Claudia the secret of the lab.
The men in black eventually find Frank’s lab and confiscate all of Frank’s inventions. One of the inventions is a military robot that starts out as disassembled smaller devices that seem innocuous on their own, but once assembled create a very formidable humanoid soldier. This soldier is used by the men in black to attack Robby and it starts getting the best of him until Claudia finds the right key that will change the soldier robots programming to only doing good forever. Robby and the soldier (Destroyer, they nickname Dee) fight the men in black who now consider them both a threat to national security.
Once they get away from the men in black, Claudia reveals the second box to Robby, whose programming includes the fabrication of the only key that will open this second box (the key patterns changes every six seconds, as does the key that Robby creates). Inside this box is the deed for a property that Frank owned that no one knew about. The find the property and build a permanent home for Claudia and Melissa before the two robots merge to form the ultimate defensive platform that Frank envisioned protecting his daughter. In this unified form, the two robots become a satellite that not only hides Claudia and Melissa’s whereabouts, but can defend them against any threat known. After Robby and Dee leave, Frank’s other, simpler creations start showing up on this hidden property and start doing the job they were programmed to do, which is to cultivate the land for food.
Yes, That Really Happened
Logline:
At 25 years old, Chris has figured out that having a college degree is better than not having one. In his pursuit to attain one, he has taken on the task of getting an engineering degree, while working at a lesbian night club that allows him to have his days free for school. A little out of touch with college student years younger and with less real world experience, Chris finds himself confused by some of their actions.
Synopsis:
For starters, Chris wakes to find that Jose, a house guest from Hell has pissed all over their couch. This is followed up by the realization he is in a field of study where stress is the initial description, which is made apparent by one of his professors, who talks more about his miserable life than the subject matter.
There is however one bright spot in the day when Chris learns that his boss is letting him carry as many of the open bottles of liquor from the club. The problem is that she’s allowing Chris to take some much liquor, because the club has been shut down by the City and Chris is now unemployed.
Chris will however discover that he is not the only one having a bad day when he discovers that Jose has set his downstairs neighbor’s patio awning on fire and dropped an empty beer bottle on the glass top table that would have been protected by the awning that got burnt up. . . The last event occurring while the downstairs neighbors had friends over for dinner.
When Chris picks up his grade, he discovers that Doctor Unlu wants to Blackmail him with the good grade he actually earned. To restore his grade, Unlu tells Chris that he must help Unlu meet a woman. Chris agrees.
Though things seem bleak at that moment, Chris is pleasantly surprised to find out that Bill’s girlfriend Monica has decided to set him up with her cousin. The night looks to be good, but this impression is proved false when their first stop is to the home of the Bakers, a group of drug taking, gun toting hippies.
Apparently, the Bakers have discovered a cache of competition rifles in a secret room in the house they are renting and trophies that serve as great targets.
The night only gets worse as Chris must figure out how to find a woman who would accept Unlu, despite his apparent baggage, how to keep the peace between individuals who are getting drunker with every stop they make, which include the following: a trip to yet another strange apartment occupied by a Captain Caveman look alike who helps Chris and Bill get so drunk that Chris vomits and pisses all over the bathroom, while Bill tosses ceramic tiles from the balcony, a party where the group would feel more comfortable entering the party through the servant’s quarters and a visit from the police who have received a false anonymous tip from a drunk Bill.
When things seem like they could get no worse, they don’t. As, one by one, Chris friends peel off to sleep it off, Monica’s cousin Annie takes control and shows Chris the sane world in which she parties at a club Chris could never have imagined existed. To Chris, the word eclectic would not have covered the Institute or its patrons, but it would be a good start, as the pair get closer and dance until the Sun tells them it’s time to go home
