"Jim" indie feature film about Designer DNA [Oct.2010]

[jefferiestubes8]

This sounds like a cool scifi flick on the same themes as "Gattaca" (1997). We need more films covering these human genetic engineering/altering topics.

What happens when a genetically modified creature comes across a young clone gifted with a mystic connection to a suicidal human who roamed the Earth centuries earlier?

Split into three parallel timelines, Jim, for its present day narrative, follows the desperate title character (played by Dan Illian) as he takes frozen eggs to a biotech firm that promises to engineer a perfect baby.

“This is a movie about the issues involved in manipulating the genes of future generations… the wealthy have their own hidden system for maintaining their position. In that sense, the playing field is only level as far as you can see it,” he says. “Beyond the horizon, mountains lurk in the haze of exclusivity. "
