Meanwhile, his loving wife Ingrid watches helplessly as the man she married is slowly consumed by the obsession to reconcile himself with the very nature of existence.
TRANSCENDENCE is a poignant speculative drama that challenges us to consider whether technology can fundamentally change what it means to be human. In the tradition of introspective science-fiction such as NEVER LET ME GO, GATTACA and MOON, TRANSCENDENCE is a return to modestly-scaled cerebral filmmaking in a genre now defined by special-effects sequences.
TRANSCENDENCE is the feature-length debut for Writer-Director Thomas Robert Lee.
TRANSCENDENCE is budgeted at $XXXXXX. The producers seek to finance the film through a combination of equity investment and other sources. Upon completion of the film, the producers will target such film festivals as Toronto International Film Festival, Fantasia International Film Festival and Calgary International Film Festival, as well as video on demand services such as Amazon, iTunes and Netflix.
TRANSCENDENCE will be shot on film on location in Calgary, Alberta.
