The first feature film from Famous Monsters of Filmland is Downstream, written and directed by Philip Kim (with co-directors Simone Bartesaghi and Neil Kinsella), and it's having a sneak preview followed by a Q&A in Hollywood, CA on February 24th.
Downstream is one of the first handful of projects to be shot on the Red One camera for a modest budget, and the synopsis is as follows:
Wes Keller (Jonathon Trent) is a young man born to a world where oil has collapsed, the food supply has been wiped out, and cancer rates for women have skyrocketed, depleting the female population. In a barbaric environment where bio-fuel, batteries, bullets, and people are currency and marauders roam free, Wes tries to escape to a mythical world run on cold fusion -- "Plutopia", a place that may only exist in the mind.
The Bill Is Due. Downstream is a view of the not so distant future.

Simone Bartesaghi and Neil Kinsella direct a furious, apocalyptic and darkly satirical action film, written by Philip Kim, and starring Jonathon Trent and Elizabeth Roberts. The film, set somewhere in a nightmare America where both oil and water are in incredibly short supply, is a pretty low-budget affair, but don’t let that put you off, there’s some dynamite ideas going on here.
Downstream begins with a montage of society collapsing; oil and clean water are running out, virtually all women are succumbing to a mysterious new form of cancer which may stem from Gm crops, and the cities are no-go zones, as the populations spread out to the countryside for safety. It’s a clear nod to the opening of the great Soylent Green, with the images flickering faster and faster,...
