What is it About?
Human cloning. The dream of modern science. Or a nightmare?
DAY
OF THE CLONES is new British feature film set in Manchester, England.
This ambitious sci-fi horror movie asks the question: what happens when
human cloning gets out of hand?
This is the story of a government
scientist who tries to defend a rag-tag bunch of survivors in a remote
farmhouse after the clones he has created have taken over the world.
The
film combines the claustrophobia of George A Romero's “Dawn of the
Dead” with the intense paranoia of John Carpenter’s “The Thing”,
set against a realistic backdrop of the industrial North of England. The
film has action, stunts, special effects and military vehicles
galore!
We will use the latest technology as well as old-school
practical effects. We will also be using experienced TV actors, a
professional crew made up of local talent, using Hollywood-grade
equipment, and a script written by a Hollywood screenwriter.
And now you can be a part of the story!
Why Do You Need Funds?
We
try to pay for as much of the film as we can. But we are a tiny outfit,
and in order to pay for the actors we want, and to achieve the special
effects and exciting stunts we want to film, we need extra funding. This
funding will also help us pay for postproduction facilities like
editing and sound mixing.
