After taking us on comprehensive and compelling journeys into '80s action films with In Search of the Last Action Heroes and '80s horror with In Search of Darkness, CreatorVC will now tackle '80s sci-fi by offering fans a similar experience with the new documentary In Search of Tomorrow.
Now funding on Kickstarter, the four-hour-plus retrospective will feature interviews with more than 40 actors, directors, writers, SFX experts, and composers who helped the subgenre thrive throughout the '80s.
Directed by David Weiner, the film's impressive roster includes Nancy Allen (RoboCop), John Badham (WarGames, Short Circuit), Shane Black (Predator), Joseph Bottoms (The Black Hole, The Intruder Within), Clancy Brown (Highlander, Buckaroo Banzai), John Carpenter (The Thing, Escape From NY), Joe Dante (Innerspace, Gremlins) and many more!
In Search of Tomorrow will be an extensive, nostalgic journey through '80s sci-fi films – exploring their impact year-by-year and their relevance today – told by the iconic artists who made them and by those who were inspired to turn their visions into reality. Pre-production is currently underway, following on the strength of CreatorVC’s successful crowdfunding campaign and release of the '80s horror documentary In Search of Darkness, one of the most successful indie docs in history which will receive an exclusive streaming release via Shudder later in 2020.
Coinciding with the Kickstarter campaign will be the introduction of an unprecedented, fan-driven online interactive community. CreatorVC is seeking passionate sci-fi and genre fans to join its new experiential social community on Discord – offering live Q&As, group-watch events, a crowdsourcing of ideas and, most importantly, relationship-building. The goal is to deliver a truly unique approach to the filmmaking process in which fans are driving the conversation, and hopefully bring people together at a time where online communication is as vital as ever.
"In Search of Tomorrow will take viewers on a year-by-year deep dive into the many awe-inspiring worlds of '80s Sci-Fi movies, from the alien landscapes of distant planets to the unexpected secrets of our own terra firma to the dystopian visions of near and far future, said Weiner. "An entertaining study of ‘80s genre filmmaking, In Search of Tomorrow will tap into that childlike wonder that we all felt while first watching these movies, how we all felt deep inside, all the while deconstructing and recontextualizing their impact for today’s audiences."
As someone who backed, owns and has now watched In Search of Darkness on multiple occasions, I can personally say, without a shred of guilt on my conscience, this WILL BE the most definitive '80s sci-fi documentary ever made! Don't miss it!
