Synopsis:
Over one millennium in the future, Salvage Barge S-27 orbits Planet Uranus using deployable salvage robots to collect space debris for metal processing.
One of these robots is G.O.M.E.R., a seemingly outdated robot who exhibits human characteristics. When a harvest frigate arrives to retrieve canisters of
melted down debris, it also seizes G.O.M.E.R. and transfers its A.I. mind into a new, updated robot model. Unable to accept this, G.O.M.E.R. makes an
inspiring, courageous choice to reclaim its old body at a heavy price.
'Forever Gomer' presents the first act of a larger story, making up for about half of the finished production. With breathtaking CGI visuals and
encompassing sounds, we are invited to explore the concept of being unique in a universe that demands conformity. Rich with metaphor and symbolism,
'Forever Gomer' uses astute themes that confront modern issues in a very creative way. Generic concepts, such as self-expression, conformity, and
individuality are punctuated with powerful elements and we are led to a realization about humanity that everyone can relate to.
'Forever Gomer' was produced, directed, designed & animated by Daniel Sammons Jr with a team of talented artists and technicians throughout the Degree Project class in Electronic Media Technology at UC | Raymond Walters College.
