THE
VISITOR
by
Jim Glaister a Winchester based screenwriter and director. The
film is being made on a micro-budget/no-budget and will be shot in Littleton,
just North of Winchester over several weekends and is being supported
by City Eye through our Open Lens Award.
The synopsis of
The Visitor is: "Robert is good with computers. Always has been.
He knows this and anyone who knows him knows this. And Robert likes
a challenge. This is what drives him to create ever more complex programs
to hack his way into systems he supposedly should never be able to
access. To Robert, it's a game; to his friend William, it's an opportunity
to wreak havoc. Robert is working on his best hacking program yet,
and William is eagerly anticipating using it. But
then Robert has a visitor. A man. A mysterious, powerful and somewhat
scary man. He predicts that William will inadvertently wipe out a
third of the population of the Earth as a direct consequence of using
Robert's program, so he is here to make sure that doesn't happen.
To do this, Robert's program must never exist. Which means Robert
may have to die. Right now."
UPDATE:
This film is currently in post production.
