Help Sci-Fi Short RISE Starring Anton Yelchin and Rufus Sewell Reach Its Kickstarter Goal

There are two things that stick out to me in David Karlak‘s upcoming short film Rise other than the talented cast featuring Anton Yelchin and Rufus Sewell– the outstanding looking visuals and a version of the film that supports the Oculus Rift.

When checking out the Kickstarter campaign video for the film, it quickly becomes apparent that this is the perfect type of movie suited to the VR device, and I’m extremely anxious to check it out.

This project has just over two days left as of this writing, and although they met their initial goal, several stretch goals have been set in order to produce an even better final product.  Be sure to click here and check out the Kickstarter page for Rise, and look below for more information.

The concept of using VR to enhance the cinematic experience is something I’m particularly interested in, so stay tuned for an upcoming episode of the podcast where I’ll be speaking with the director, David Karlak.

In the near future, sentient robots are targeted for elimination after they develop emotional symmetry to humans and a revolutionary war for their survival begins.
