Cyber Knight and The Hand Puppet Commandos

Story

Welcome to Our Film Project

This is more than just an adaptation of my novel—it’s about sharing the vibrant, action-packed world of CyberKnight and the Hand Puppet Commandos with you! It is about bringing the multiple characters to life, and immersing current fans and newcomers alike in a breathtaking visual experience that opens up a detailed and thoroughly new “universe” that will expand the mindset of all who watch it.

CyberKnight and the Hand Puppet Commandos is a Sci-Fi adventure with it’s roots in Science Facts! The basis of the story is the CRACKING OF THE FERMI PARADOX. In 1950 Enrico Fermi, 1938 winner of the Noble Prize and one of the main scientists who created the “Manhattan Project”, posed a simple question to his fellow scientists: “Where is Everybody?”, It was often called “The Great Silence”, and spoken about in conjunction with theories like “the Great Filter” and “the Dark Forest Theory”. The “Fermi Paradox” is the fact that with so many billions of stars in the Milky Way, and the great possibility that they might all have planets like our solar system,… Why haven’t we detected signs of life in the cosmos. As it would turn out, SETI scientist Dr. Daryl Daxler’s hunch that we were looking at the universe with the wrong tools turns out to be right! Aliens communicate, Not with RF (Radio Frequencies) but with Telepathy. The DAX Project – a SETI experiment championed by Daxler opens the path to interplanetary telepathic communication, but unknowingly also opens the floodgate to the potential of total global annihilation.

CyberKnight and the Hand Puppet Commandos is the “Origin Story” that reveals the epic adventures of Dr. Daryl Daxler (known as “Dax”). From childhood puppeteer to achieving her status as a SETI Scientist, Dax’s path leads her to make a discovery of historic importance and thrusts her into the quest of a lifetime. Her development of her life-long dream to build her synthetic telepathy invention, known as the ReAmplifier, ends with results that are not what she expected. When the device links her into the “Great Mind Wave” and downloads the “World Protector Kit” (WPK) into her mind, it is only the beginning of a journey that will transform her life from purely scientific pursuits to being Earth’s “CyberKnight”, the reluctant – at first, leader of a powerful group of miniature super heroes, the Hand Puppet Commandos – the likes of which the planet has never seen before. The interference of Dr. Gray Sutherland during the reception of the Great Mind Wave creates the circumstance producing a duality of good and evil forces thrusting Dax and her team into a series of life and death battles with incredible adversaries. Circumstances of this dual transformation task her with saving the Earth from Gray Sutherland who has been transformed into the powerful GrayLord, the Dark Lord of Power, and his evil cohorts, the “Metalicans“.

The Story weaves a tale that has over 25 very individualized characters, with several different ultimate agendas and which encompass the diverse actions of the 2-teams (shown in a combat scene above – from the Graphic Novel) that are the personification of Good and Evil forces.

CyberKnight and the Hand Puppet Commandos also delves into the world of Special Government Operatives, 3-Letter organizations and plots within plots regarding how to deal with powers and technologies never before seen on Earth.

OUR VISION: HOW WE’LL BRING THE NOVEL TO LIFE

The CyberKnight and the Hand Puppet Commandos story has taken almost 30 years to come to full fruition. We’ve already invested a great deal of our own funds into the project and have worked tirelessly for more than 18 months laying the groundwork for this crowdfunding effort:

THE SCRIPT: We’ve created a professional 120 page screenplay. The script is currently in the hands of professional screenplay reviewers adapting it for animation.
ANIMATION TEAM: We’re working with a talented group of animators, designers, and storytellers who are passionate about sci-fi and committed to creating a visually stunning film.
SOUNDTRACK AND VOICE TALENT: Plans are in place to include an original score and top-tier voice actors to bring the characters to life.
TRADEMARKS: We’ve filed for numerous USPTO Federal Trademarks covering more than 5 Classifications: these cover fields of endeavor and product offerings that include: Motion picture films featuring adventure stories; downloadable fiction and a non-fiction book; Graphic novels, comic books, fiction and non-fiction books; posters, decals and stickers; NFT cards; and Entertainment services, namely, a continuing show distributed over television, cable, satellite, radio and global computer information networks; electronic publishing services, namely publication of text and graphic works on CD-ROMs, DVDs and electronic versions featuring entertainment; production and distribution of motion pictures; publication of books and magazines; television show production, television show programming, and videotape production; Action figures, Toys and games featuring action and adventure stories; single and multiple player video games for consoles, computers, tablets and smart phones featuring action and adventure stories.
AUDIOBOOK: At the moment of creating this campaign we are about 14 days away from the release of the most unique Audio Book ever created – Possibly available by the time you read this: The CyberKnight and the Hand Puppet Commandos Origin Story Audio Book is voiced by the Major and Minor characters (20+) in the story. It is very much in the style of the old time “Radio Drama” of the 1930’s and 1940’s (in the USA) complete with narration where needed and sound effects to enhance the overall story. The vocals in the Audiobook will help form the basis of the voices in the film’s production. Since the audio version of the story must be highly descriptive to set a picture in the mind of the listener, it’s use will be very valuable to the film production company in guiding their visualization of the story.

This crowdfunding effort will help us cover critical production costs such as 3D photorealistic animation, story settings design and construction, voice acting, and post-production, ensuring that this story is adapted with the quality and care it deserves.
