The drop of the Soviet Union feels like a ridiculously long time ago — so it ’s a uncanny thought experiment to reckon one last vestige of the U.S.S.R. deem on in the middle of Austria somewhere .
But this little venture into alternate chronicle sounds like it ’s just the beginning of the scientific discipline - fictional bizarreness in Sierra Zulu , a full - length motion picture from old stager pranksters and event organiser Monochrom , which isseeking funding via Kickstarter .
try from the concept art and suggestion they ’ve post , this film will let in cosmonaut , killer robot drones , and maybe something squall the Hyper - Hegel , a product of Soviet technology . The lean of citizenry involved includes Star Trek actors Robert Picardo and Max Grodenchick , Buffy the Vampire Slayer actors Amber Benson and Jeff Ricketts , Devo ’s Mark Mothersbaugh , the Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra , the MIT Media Lab ’s Joi Ito , Apple co - founder Steve Wozniak , and Lucasfilm / ILM veteran Aaron Muszalski .
Here ’s what they say about the project ontheir Kickstarter page :
Sierra Zulu wants to explore the position of masses who hold out on the fringe of what we would call “ account ” or “ the humankind ” . This fringe area – circumvent by the European Union – is where we find the microstate Soviet Unterzoegersdorf , the almost forgotten ‘ last autonomous republic of the Soviet Union ’ which has fallen victim to its geo - political , diachronic , ethnic , and stinting irrelevance . This hamlet of 1,500 the great unwashed is the last paragon of ideals which have been uproot from the face of the earth with Soviet - Communism . Sierra Zulu is about implanting false memories into the political and cultural platter of our innovative globe , simulating the burden of this partial and local revising of history through the initiation of an entire meshing of issue because of this transposition . Or to put it otherwise : how would our current realism react to a Soviet Unterzoegersdorf ? And what does a “ Soviet Hicksville ” have to bestow to the melioration of humankind ? In a clip of global discussions about subject like internet censorship , leaked transmission line and robot killer drones , the world necessitate to learn the answers offered by a twosome of Soviets in the center of nowhere . Really , we mean it .
And here ’s a short prequel from a while back , called “ Earthmoving ” :
All they need to make the full - length movie happen is $ 50,000 in support — although more money plausibly means a more ambitious production . For just $ 552 you’re able to get a vintage Soviet Unterzoegersdorf propaganda poster , which is a pretty neat - sounding collectable . [ KickstarterviaLaughing Squid ]
