That’s right, folks, that little indie sci-fi film, Chimera, we reviewed back in February is starting to gather some well-deserved attention at film festivals.
[Be sure to click the link above to check out our thoughts on the film.]
is the first film by writer/director Maurice Haeems, and tells the story of a scientist driven to ethical and scientific extremes in an attempt to save his sick children. Driven to unlock the secrets hidden in the DNA of an “immortal” jellyfish, Quint (played brilliantly by Henry Ian Cusick) engages in research that will push the debate on stem cells, animal testing, and genetics.
