Details:

Peon is a short post apocalyptic science fiction film that follows Michael's realization that the life he's been living is a lie. Michael's mind begins to decline into madness throughout the film as he discovers more of the truth. His journey concludes with him getting revenge on the man he holds responsible and comes to an ill-fated end.

Peon's narrative contains themes of corruption, truth and revenge. Michael works at the facility which is kept in order by the President. The facility is supposedly helping to build a new society after the apocalypse. Michael has always been suspicious about the inner workings of the facility and his suspicions rise when he is told he has just come back from visiting his wife. Michael knows that he hasn't which pushes Michael closer to the breaking point. Michael demands the truth but the President remains strong that Michael has taken time off to visit his wife. This leads to an erratic Michael treating to destroy all the facilities equipment if he isn't told the truth. The President realises this threat and fills Michael's room with gas as well as sending a guard to clean up. Michael covers his face up to prevent himself from becoming unconscious and strikes the guard has he enters the room. Michael then fights his way out of the facility and sees the reality of the situation that there is no new civilisation. The President invites Michael back into the facility and offers him the truth. Michael then discovers that he along with all the other workers of the facility are all clones. Michael is given the opportunity to have the truth erased from his memory, but declines by leaving the facility. One of the President's guards catches up with Michael and is about to kill him but Michael confronts him. The guard kills himself and Michael disguises himself as the guard and re-enters the facility. Michael enters the President's chamber and discovers that the President is the original Michael, who has aged. Michael confronts the President, before killing him which is where the film concludes.

Casting:
Due to the low budget nature of the film, We can't afford to pay actors but we will be provided food, a IMDB credit and a finish edit of the film on DVD for your showreel. As well as the low budget nature, it would be ideal if you based quite local to the South Yorkshire area as we can't afford hotels.

Shooting will take place in February or March next year. If you are interested in calibrating to create this project, please get in touch.
