 Gene Pool         Jack and the Beanstalk!

Gene Pool

Synopsis:
Set in the not too distant future, a time when advancing genetic technology is challenging our sense of what it means to be human, Gene Pool is a visceral meditation on the nature of existence. Following a worldwide pandemic and subsequent medical disaster, humanity has been wiped from existence, or so it would appear. Somewhere in New Zealand, an abandoned shed holds the last vestige of a creators dream. A giant incubator containing the final experiment of a leading genetic engineer. A human being. Alone, he is born from this artificial womb; alone he must make the discoveries vital to survival  his body, his soul, his self. The machine acts as a surrogate, seemingly alive - and he must find ways to understand and communicate with the machine in order to finally break the bonds of his own need and forge his own freedom and his own identity.
