Seven years ago, we set out to answer one question: How can we build a better world if we don't all agree what that world looks like??
To answer that question, we needed a vehicle to propose grand thought experiments around designing a hypothetical but realistic and attainable future.
So we began developing the idea of an OPTIMISTIC sci-fi series called Synthesis. Set 250 years into the future, Synthesis is about six renegades who steal a spaceship and must unite a divided interstellar humanity before a smooth-talking corporate overlord destroys all hope of achieving utopia.
We started by thinking about all of the things we'd like to suck less about the world today and then we started thinking about the types of heroes that would need to step up and do the work, united only by one singular goal: to build a better future, no matter the cost!
If you're a Canadian sci-fi fan, you already know that homegrown science fiction shows set in space are extremely rare because of the cost to produce them, so we knew we would have to innovate massively if we wished to show audiences what creating better worlds in the future looks like.
With the support of Showmax Events, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, ARC VFX, William F. White International Inc. the Canadian Media Producers Association - CMPA and Andy Brown/Marco Bossow's Transmute Pictures and because of our funding partners, the Canada Media Fund and Telefilm Canada we set out to establish a brand new workflow that was both indie film friendly AND creatively boundless!
Today, we are proud and SO overjoyed to share - a proof of concept for a new optimistic sci fi show AND the proof of concept for the future of independent filmmaking!
