Lientenant-Professor Frank James Morley, an exceptionally gifted environmental scientist lives a secluded life on an island off the shore of Australia. In his retreat he becomes obsessed with a vastly ambitious and potentially lethal project: the complete annihilation of the human race with the purpose of saving our dying planet...
Martyn Park delivers a very peculiar, visually minimalistic film, shot in a mindblowing natural landcape. The graphic beauty of this Tarkovsky-like piece contrasts with a most pessimistic reflection on ecology: what if Planet Earth's salvation could only be achieved through Man's extinction? In these times of global warming, natural disasters, overpopulation and famine, the inescapable question looms into view. Frank James Morley already has the answer...
Martyn Park started off in film-making right at the bottom. At the age of 15 he was already working in a cinema; three years later he was promoted to the position of projectionist, of which he took advantage to build himself up a solid foundation in film culture; and in 1996 he acquired some video equipment and started practising in film production and editing. So far he has written no less than eighteen feature-length screenplays and directed two of those, Instant Karma (2000), and 1 and 0 nly.
