Internationally recognised as one of the world’s most highly regarded and successful launch pads for genre movies, the UK’s leading genre event, SCI-FI-LONDON, has now taken its own giant step into world of movie production with the crowd-funded sci-fi comedy feature, THE SEARCH FOR SIMON, directed by Martin Gooch (Death) and starring Tom Price (Torchwood), Carol Cleveland (Monty Python), Simon Jones (The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy) and Sophie Aldred (Doctor Who) with a guest appearance by gaming legend Ian Livingstone. And you are invited to join in the final countdown to raise vital funds to finance the movie’s post-production via the crowd-funding website, Indiegogo.com.

In return for any pledges made, the filmmakers are offering a variety of cool and unique perks, ranging from signed DVDs of the completed film, official T-shirts and tickets to the movie’s world premiere screening and after-show party to copies of exclusive not-available-anywhere-else deck plans of the top secret “Shroomship” and having your name included in the movie’s closing credits!

THE SEARCH FOR SIMON is a comedy science-fiction feature film about a man named David and his lifelong search for alien life. When David was 10 years old, his younger brother Simon disappeared from his life forever. His father told him that Simon “now lives with the space people”. A year later, David’s father died and his mother refused to talk about what really happened. As a result, David dedicates himself to investigating extra-terrestrial phenomena, looking for the space people and the truth he knows must be out there.

Described by director and co-writer Martin Gooch as, “Shaun of the Dead rubbing up against The X-Files with a little Blair Witch Project, UFOs and a Sherman tank thrown in for good measure…” the film will also feature music by The Priscillas and Captain Sensible of The Damned.
