Synopsis

Shot in London, Shadow Gene explores characteristics in the human race which contradict its own survival: violence and greed.
A beautiful female assassin on a mission to destroy a defective gene in the male species uncovers a corrupt and murky world of corporate power. Raised by a mysterious woman and nurtured into becoming a ruthless hit woman, she targets 'corporate' types who unknowingly carry the notorious 'shadow gene', a parasite gene that compels its hosts to become as violent and greedy as the stock markets demand... without remorse. One day although seemingly accomplishing her mission an encounter with a smug corporate executive sets of a chain of events that shifts the power between victim and perpetrator.
Shot largely in London with a minimalist cast and crew on a tiny budget using aging out-of-date 16mm and Super 8 film stocks (some up to 40 years old), Shadow Gene utilises 2D animation, live action, graphic and photographic imagery along with a haunting piano score to tell its story, along the way creating a kaleidoscopic narrative that reveals aspects of corporate greed from the time of the nineteenth century Luddite to the present day 'Occupy London' Movement.
