AMELIA 2.0
Amelia 2.0 is a feature-length drama set in a very near future, when science-fiction is becoming science-fact.
Based on the play by Rob Merritt, 'The Summerland Project' tackles themes humans have been struggling with for centuries: Who are we? What makes us human? Are we the end product of a divine Creator, or can we be made better? Principal Photography began in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in September, 2014. The film was produced by More Productions and stars Ed Begley Jr. (PORTLANDIA, YOU’RE NOT YOU, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT), Kate Vernon (NCIS, THE 100, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) and Eddie Jemison (iZOMBIE, MASTERS OF SEX). Lightning Entertainment, who is representing the film's international rights, premiered exclusive footage at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. The film had its world premiere at the Collins Road Theater in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on August 4th, 2017.
