The Snowflake Crusade

Category: Narrative Feature  1hr 35min
Director: Megan Holley

In an era of DNA commodities brokering and near epidemic infertility, cloning has become a fashionable procreative alternative for young couples with means.  Only DNA meeting the high standards of the registry is eligible for cloning. Nobel Prize winning scientist and national hero, Nathan Clive Barclay, met those high standards and posthumously sired a clone from his preserved DNA.  Unfortunately, all that genetic potential has soured in his clone, Clive.  Feeling that he is merely the residue of greatness, Clive sets out on a life long mission to destroy the reputation of his genetic sire through personal misdeed. After his most recent stint in the mental hospital, Clive is given a janitorial job at a debt consolidation company.  It is here where Clive meets Marigold, the star telemarketer who is sleepwalking through life. Now Clive and Marigold must each decide how to respond to the forces that define them.
