Looking to team up to develop a hard sci-fi microbudget film.

Hi I would like to team up to develop a hard sci-fi microbudget film, think of the puzzle style of Primer and Upstream Color. Welcome cinephiles, but also sci-fi enthusiasts, computer nerds, makers, gamers, tech-heads of all kinds.

Hi Ed, would be very interested to see this develop as you've listed two favourite films of mine. I have some experience improvising sci-fi on zero budget as well. Do you have a script in mind, or looking to start something from the ground up?

I have only a few different ideas but I'd like to start something from the ground up. I am based in London.

Hi Ed,

I've a script that I pitch as 'Primer meets The Man in the White Suit'. While it's essentially one-location set, I think the budget nudges into the 'low' range. PM if interested in seeing a one-sheet.

Hi Barry,

I just read your response to Ed regarding his Sci-Fi project.

I'm looking for a script to bring to an audience. The fact your script is mainly set in one location means it can be made without going bankrupt! If you could send your one sheet that would be great!

I made an independent film that was released in 2012 and it did sold very well on broadcast, VOD and DVD!

It's called The Grind and you can find out more about the film here www.thegrindmovie.com

Regards,
Rishi Opel

Hello Rishi,

I watched The Grind. Absolutely fantastic film! It was recommended by a friend and I loved it too.
I would love to collaborate with you on your next project. I am a music composer and I very much like the style of soundtrack you had for The Grind.

Best regards,

Alejandro Bonatto

Hi Ed

Sci Fi is one of my interests, as is Hi production values with zero budget.
I made this short a few years back that played in the UK and Europe - It cost less than 2K (excluding our time of course)

Always interested in a Si-fi project. More interested in the look and feel. Alien is my benchmark.
