DEFINING HUMAN- A short film about Afrofuturism

Hi,

My name is Daniel Code, and I'm a black filmmaker from Vancouver, Canada. I wrote a short sci-fi, script called 'Defining Human' that explores themes of Afrofuturism. I wrote this story as a way to create black content and build more black characters in the world of sci-fi and action cinema.

I'm seeking your help to share, like and hopefully contribute funding to help me produce this fantastic project.

I have worked in the film industry for 20 years and most of my filmmaking discipline has come from producing and production managing. During this time, I've only had the opportunity to direct my own work a handful of times.

Here is a list of films and work that I'm proud I've been apart of.

Colour Study -Award winning short film for the CBC

The Collective Bunch - Community of Black filmmakers

Anthem Jackson - Personal production company partnership

Directing cinema comes with practice and it takes a lot of money, time and people to make it possible. My goal is to keep working as a director to build more opportunities in the future so I can eventually write and direct feature length films. Making "Defining Human' is one step towards a successful career that prides itself in making diverse content with diverse crews.

Synopsis

Mia, a young astronaut, trains in an elite space program called Arrow IV with the ultimate goal of preparing humanity for life on another planet. In the year of 2045, the earth has reached its environmental breaking point and black communities have never been so segregated as the air quality has diminished to dangerous levels. Mia's father Philip, who has supported her in her dreams of eventually reaching space will not survive before Mia returns. Mia must make the difficult decision whether to leave behind her father and community or realize a racially just society on a new planet.
