Trailer: Cerebral Indie Sci-Fi THE CONTROL Now on DVD & VOD
Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios, has released independent post-modern science fiction feature film The Control (now available to rent and own on DVD and North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms through Freestyle Digital Media).
Give the trailer a spin and read more about the movie below.
Synopsis:
To send humanity to a distant galaxy, the mysterious CEO of The Fuller Corporation must develop a cutting-edge computer-brain interface to keep his hibernating colonizers safe and sane for a journey of unknown length. Mike, a brilliant, single-minded programmer, and Eric, an unorthodox neurochemist, take on the challenge, eager to make their mark on history. But as they collaborate on the most sophisticated virtual reality system ever conceived, their ambitions clash and they find themselves working on different approaches to the same program. When Mike’s muse gets wind of their project, she secretly volunteers as a test subject for Eric and becomes trapped inside an unending program. When Mike tries to save her, he finds himself in a chess game of alternate worlds where reality can break apart and the normal rules don’t always apply. Unsure what is real and what is virtual, Mike has to deconstruct the program from the inside in order to gain control and bring everyone back to reality.
The Control was written, directed, and produced by Michael Stasko and Eric Schiller (who also star in the film alongside Sharon Belle).
“We are very pleased to have The Control, acquired by Freestyle Digital Media,” said filmmaker Mike Stasko. “It is exciting to have our movie available to a large North American audience. We aimed to make a film that would season from multiple viewings, and are excited to share it across multiple platforms.”
