ABOUT THE FILM<br />
SYNTHETIC_WORLD is a realistic glimpse into our future based on the idea of technology that is already present<br />
today and will be even more readily available tomorrow. SYNTHETIC body replacements are our future as they get<br />
cheaper and more readily available.<br />
The questions, answers and the unintended consequences of our progress must be understood as we reach that next<br />
level of advancement. And their implications on humanity need to be greatly debated. We are at the age of further<br />
understanding the human weakness, imperfection and our biggest challenge, survival.<br />
A week after the script was complete, THE J. CRAIG VENTER INSTITUTE unveiled the first SELF-REPLICATING<br />
SYNTHETIC BACTERIAL CELL. This groundbreaking research has been in development for 15 years and was<br />
unveiled to the world in May of 2010.<br />
“This idea of Synthetic Humans is nothing new, but I’ve been fascinated with it for some time now. About a week after I<br />
finished the script, the news about the first Synthetic Life broke out and made me realize I wasn’t just doing a film about<br />
something relevant, but something of utmost importance. I was no longer dealing with science fiction, but actual scientific<br />
reality.<br />
Synthetic life will be the conflict of the 21 st Century. In a strange way, Synthetic World is somewhat of an inadvertent<br />
tribute to the brilliant men and women involved in the research.<br />
I don’t think most people see humans ever being replaced by something else on this planet, but I do. It is a scary, but at<br />
the same time a very interesting thought. It definitely puts us in perspective. And of course asks the question, what is the<br />
context of our life, what does it mean to be human? “<br />

TECHNOLOGY IS OUR SHARPEST DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD YET AND MUST BE USED WISELY.
PROLOGUE<br />
P<strong>LA</strong>NET EARTH 2213 A.D.<br />
THE <strong>LA</strong>ST GENERATION OF ORGANIC HUMANS HAS BEEN EXTINCT FOR MORE THAN 21<br />
YEARS, AS THE WORLD’S POPU<strong>LA</strong>TION SET AT 2.1 BILLION IS GLOBALLY CONTAINED.<br />
BREAKTHROUGHS IN SYNTHETIC ORGAN AND TISSUE TECHNOLOGY HAVE LED TO A<br />
COMPLETE ORGAN REP<strong>LA</strong>CEMENT IN ALL OF THE LIVING BEINGS.<br />
THE NEW ORDER OF MAN KNOWN AS “1.5” IS IMMUNE TO ALL STRAINS OF VIRUSES AND<br />
BACTERIA.<br />
ONE YEAR <strong>LA</strong>TER, THE FIRST SYNTHETIC HUMAN IS CREATED FROM SCRATCH WITH A<br />
PROJECTED LIFE SPAN OF 315 YEARS. HUMANS 1.5 AND 2.0 ARE NOW THE DOMINANT LIFE<br />
FORM ON P<strong>LA</strong>NET EARTH.<br />
HIDDEN IN THE DARKNESS, IS THE <strong>LA</strong>ST EVIDENE OF ORGANIC LIFE. A PRICELESS<br />
POSSESSION, ONE THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO ITS KEEPER.<br />
AFTER TEN YEARS IN HIDING AND OUT OF FUNDS, THE KEEPER HAS FINALLY SURFACED…
SYNOPSIS<br />
A six minute epic about three mercenaries who open the “BRIEFCASE OF DEATH.”<br />
E.X. (BRAHM GAL<strong>LA</strong>GHER) and Z.E.D. (HENNING FISCHER) and O.NE.(NOEL DOUG<strong>LA</strong>S<br />
ORPUT) intercept a vintage transport with a special briefcase.<br />
As the CONTENT of the briefcase reveals itself, it becomes clear that the priceless possession is the<br />
last evidence of LIFE and its rightful owner will do anything to get it back.
THE FUTURE HISTORY OF P<strong>LA</strong>NET EARTH<br />
2101 A.D.<br />
The world is a united, inseparable movement. English is the universal language of all of the “States“, previously known as<br />
Countries. The World Government is made up of 33 divisions. Religion is on a drastic decline.<br />
2126 A.D.<br />
Newly evolved virus strains could no longer be contained and start causing infertility in all life forms. To solve “The human<br />
problem“, genetic researchers start to push experiments with full body synthetic organ replacements. The research is backed by<br />
the World government.<br />
Animal and plant shortages, cause the human population to drop to 3.7 billion. Almost all of the species on the planet are wiped<br />
out.<br />
2155 A.D.<br />
The first Synthetic brain is developed by Dr. Otto Newman of United Oxford University of Europa. Based on a radically new<br />
A.I. principle, the discovery completes the transitional process from an organic human to a 1.5. After 29 years of research and<br />
E$3.21 billion the natural human body is no longer necessary. With the increased lifespan in 1.5s the preservation process<br />
begins, as researches continue to develop the 2.0<br />
An effort by those that oppose the transition is made and a small percentage of humans refrain from getting the surgery.<br />
2165 A.D.<br />
The last virus is eradicated from the planet. Humans now are the definition of life left on planet Earth.<br />
2169 A.D.<br />
The first Synthetic human is conceived from scratch by a global effort of scientists. Aegis Kenned, a female, is the first 2.0 with<br />
a projected lifespan of 315 years. Humans are now able to pass on their genetic information again. The world population is<br />
contained at 2.1 billion humans.<br />
Family structure starts to rapidly deteriorate. With the added lifespan humans begin changing their behavior and start<br />
considering longer term goals for society.<br />
Ethical battles between intellectuals are fought over the appearance modifications. To preserve the heritage of the last evolution<br />
of humans, the 2.0s are not able to modify their bodies out of the normal human context for another 100 years.<br />
2193 A.D.<br />
The World Government bans Synthetic Transition Surgeries from 1.0 to 1.5 as the final round of surgeries is completed. The<br />
New Law is put in place immediately to render the operations and the facilities illegal. The last organic humans no longer have a<br />
way out of extinction.<br />
Dr. Hideo Vegas leads a team of five scientists to perform a last minute surgery before his facility is shut down by the World<br />
Army. A young kidnapped boy gets surgically upgraded from 1.0 to 1.5. After obtaining the Heart, Dr. Vegas kills off the<br />
remaining members of the team and vanishes for two decades.<br />
2213 A.D.<br />
Now.
