Filament is a three-part science fiction saga. An insightful, smart new motion picture project.
An alien creates a technology that by random chance is found by an early primitive human two million years ago. Remnants from that time are discovered by a modern-day geologist and his scientist colleague. With the help of a fearless and captivating female reporter, they all vie for a role in the ground-breaking discovery, a technological leap with massive implications for the future of the United States.
But as its staggering potential comes into focus, figures with power and influence emerge determined to seize control of the find for personal gain. Project Filament morphs into a covert, billion-dollar government operation cloaked in secrecy and high stakes risk. When the devastating global consequences of the technology come to light, the staff of Project Filament must gamble on a solution.

The core concept is intriguing, and the story has plenty of hooks to keep an audience engaged. The visual representation of the filament was clever, and it’s easy to imagine this being expanded into a visually stunning film."
