Before owning my first HD camera, I began this remake of 2001: A Space Odyssey as a tribute to the film and decided to turn it into a parody while still maintaining the original plot. My friend Nathan Johns (audiostoned) plays Frank Poole and my cousin Jono Swartz plays Dave Bowman. This really started as a screenplay I made for a project in my screenwriting class. We began to film sometime around late spring/early summer of 2009. Unfortunately my cousin Jono wasn't as reliable to this project as I had hoped for. An important lesson in casting--pick someone who is available AND dependable!

Nevertheless, here is what I was able to complete, including some extras, deleted scenes, alternatives, and more. It's probably better that this project remains incomplete...
