Update 1:
Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! This has been a labor of love on a budget of $0 with personal expense on my part and no funding. It makes it all worth while when we see other poeple responding to it. Thank you! - Aaron Sims


Update 2:
I want to thank all of you for the support and positive feedback I've received about my short film "Archetype".

This project was a labor of love, and so many talented, hard-working people helped in making it come to life. "Archetype" would not have been possible without all the talented individuals who contributed their time and skill, and I thank them - each and every one.

Please tell everyone you know to watch the short; the more people and positive responses we receive (and even likes on the YouTube page that we get) make a difference. With your help, we can hopefully get the feature version made - so Tweet, Facebook...get the word out!

Thanks again, and check out some of the online articles that have already gone live:

Update 3:

I want to thank everyone again for all the amazing support. It means so much to me to see so many of you that truly enjoyed Archetype.
Your continuing positive response will truly help in realizing a feature version of Archetype!!!

Someone just faked this video calling it Doom 4 leaked trailer

I beg anyone who cares about quality entertainment to promote this via their avenues of social media. This is thought provoking, thrilling and down right awesome. This story deserves to be a full length feature film and we finally live in an age where the people can have a conversation with those who have the power to make it happen. If I live in a world where trash like Beverly Hills Chiwawa can get funding, Than I have to believe that something of worth can be funded and made as well.

wow fucking amazing!!!

[MrReddybrek]

Really enjoyed this, although I would've cut as the robot appeared to 'wake up' at the end. Leaves more to the imagination.

[Sébastien Kerjean]

Awesome! I want to see the movie!

[James Conlon]

[Talha Ismail]

[Vladmir Morkus]

I have only just found this out via Cinefix videos. How did I not see this before!! Absolutely amazing. Also, is there a place we can get info on how the feature version is getting along?

There's not a sci-fi writer into robotics that hasn't fiddled with the idea of AI with consciousness, but it's original in the fact that RL7 is a seasoned combat veteran. Yes, Robocop was a cyborg, and he had memories of his family, but he's a different "application." These combat droids are supposed to be devoid of memories of their own, and mindlessly follow orders.
