Specimen 0625c
Synopsis
Specimen 0625c is a short film about a simple man from the Southern U.S., 0625, who has been forced to repeatedly crawl through a mysterious maze. Over and over again he has tried and failed to reach the end. Just when he thinks he has reached it, he’s turned off via a device implanted directly into his spinal cord and reset to the beginning of the maze. Now he is more determined than ever to escape and finally confront his unknown captors. This time he has a gruesome plan to accomplish it, but what he didn’t plan on, was her. 0732, a smart, quiet little girl has also been activated and 0625 must convince her to follow him and go along with his daring plan. But what lies in wait at the end of the maze is not at all what they were expecting.
Our Aim
We plan on submitting Specimen 0625c to dozens of film festivals around the world. In order to make the film accessible to the widest possible audience, we will release the film on YouTube, Vimeo, and IMDb after it's festival run has ended. Depending on its reception and our funds, we hope to either adapt the story into a feature length film or make a series of webisodes.
