Ever de-constructed the motives of a visiting UFO that is thousands of light years from home?
To understand how Aliens sees us, we first have to understand our own
history of exploration, contact and diplomacy, between Old World
civilisations and the New World tribes. Earth history is littered with
cruel jokes on unwitting peoples, where the collision of East meets West
ended with one party screwed over, or just wiped out of existence.
Why should Earth’s destiny among other races of the universe be any
different?

Love Data
Can technology replace love? In the not too distant future can we exist
beyond the flesh, in data form, and experience emotions, friendship,
simple satisfactions, sexual liaisons and even jealousy?
Bill is an inventor with futuristic vices and ambitious experiments on
his mind: To use technology to trial his version of creative artificial
intelligence, and bring back a dead lover. He needs a breakthrough and
he needs help. But the only aid he can find is from Casper, a wholesaler
of clone androids to the sex-industry. Will technology think
creatively, can it show love? More importantly, in the hands of Bill,
does any experiment go to plan?
The Return of the Last Space Explorer

designed for space travel, and is sent to seed life on a planet orbiting
one of earth’s closest stars, Sirius. After a 99 year voyage he returns
to earth, crash lands in Berlin, and is the sole survivor. Earth has
changed and unexpectedly lurched backwards: He is imprisoned by the New
Revolution, a hybrid Environmentalist and Communist Regime controlling
much of Europe, who treat him, a survivor of the Golden Age of a century
ago, as a cause of earth’s current Global Freezing.

10,000 BC – The First Geniuses
For humanity the transformation from savagery into civilisation can only
be led by heroes and geniuses, and new inventions, like the concept of
zero, the first books and the use of metals, comes at a heavy price.
The tribes on the Peninsula are victims of cannibalism, plunder and
genocide, from a marauding tribe of scavengers escaping the ravages of
the mainland. To add to the hardship of the tribes on the Peninsula, the
climate is changing, the game of the woods are few, and many predict a
great hunger will come.
The wisest men follow their own direction.
Euripides (484BC - 406BC)
