Hot Property Films celebrates the World Premiere of its Indie Sci-Fi Brand New-U on 20th June at Edinburgh International Film Festival 2015 where it is in contention for the prestigious Michael Powell Award at this year’s festival. Brand New-U is created by the BAFTA winning team Writer / Director Simon Pummell (Bodysong, Shock Head Soul) and Producer Janine Marmot (Kelly + Victor, Bodysong, Shock Head Soul).
Starring Lachlan Nieboer (Cross of Honour, The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman) and Nora-Jane Noone (The Descent, The Magdalene Sisters, Savage), Brand New-U follows a man (SLATER) as he is brutally forced to move through a series of parallel lives. He becomes more and more obsessed as he tries to find the lover he lost, but what he must find in the end is himself.
The organisation BRAND NEW-U identifies networks of Identicals – “people who walk like you, talk like you, but are walking through different, better lives” - and helps their customers make a life upgrade: eliminating the Better-Life donor, and relocating their client to that Brand New life. But errors can occur, and a Brand New life can cost more than expected.
