Lo-fi Sci-fi Digs LIFE BEGINS

We love that our projects allow us to connect with total strangers all over the world. A great blog called Lo-fi Sci-fi did a write-up on LIFE BEGINS earlier this year. After a little digging, we learned the site is from Jim Munroe, a Toronto-based sci-fi author, filmmaker and DIY evangelist. His No Media Kings blog is full of advice and inspiration on making your own content - from video games to movies to novels. We picked Jim's brain a little about our film:

How did you hear about Futurestates?

First through Eric Zimmerman, a game developer I know who has a short in the first series, and then via Matthew Meschery at Indiecade.

You mentioned LIFE BEGINS AT REWIREMENT was your favorite from Season 3 of Futurestates. Why?

 I liked that it was focused on an under-exposed time in life -- moving parents to an old-age home.

What was your favorite part of the film?

The moment when he goes back and realizes her favourite moment is with him as a child -- a moment he'd forgotten. It redeems both of these fairly unlikeable characters somehow.

Check out the trailer to Jim's film GHOSTS WITH SHIT JOBS:

Director Trevin Matcek Speaks at USC: Science in Film

Back in November, Trevin was asked to speak at his alma mater USC for students competing in a short film competition dealing with scientific themes. The students were tasked with explaining and illustrating a scientific concept, principle, or issue for a wide, non-expert audience. Though Trevin's most recent work has dealt with futuristic sci-fi, his stories are based on real concepts and research. Here, he talks about how to create a futuristic world on a low a budget as seen in LIFE BEGINS AT REWIREMENT and more.
