Help Fund 'New', A Sci-Fi Short by John Harden

I certainly love my science fiction, and there are several good sci-fi short films out there and in production, and I've featured plenty here on this blog; such as 'Noon', 'Exodus', 'H.U.D.' 'Lisa', 'R'ha', 'Tempo', 'Prospect', 'In The Pines', 'Seed', 'Plurality' and 'Hibernation' to name but a few .

And here's another short film with a sci-fi theme. 'New' is the story of an aging couple who are cryogenically frozen and then reawakened in a distant future, in 20-year-old bodies.

'New' is being funded as a crowd-sourced project, and John Harden, who is behind the project, hoping to raise $22,000. The short is roughly 12 minutes long and will stand alone as a story, but will also serve as proof-of-concept for a feature film he's currently writing.

"In writing NEW, I feel I've managed to hit a sweet spot between the visionary science fiction that fired my imagination as a kid, and the character-driven storytelling that makes sense to me now. I'm thrilled to be making this film and feel it will be unlike anything I've done before."
