Server The Movie

Welcome to the official blog for the movie, Server.

Server is a short film in the long tradition of science fiction films that peak into a possible future where man must defeat the machines that he created.

The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic future told in sequences of still photos with additional animation. In this particular future, man has been driven back into the wilderness, living in clans, and sending its best men to defeat a machine which it created. Every year, a "Harvest Champion" is selected to go west and seek out and destroy the Server, the global computer system that wiped out humanity and "cleansed" the earth. This computer was created by man, to assist man, but once given the responsibility to protect humanity at all costs it realized that humanity was its own worst enemy and destroyed it. The "great cleansing" that is taught to the children of those left in this future tells of how the Server created an Ark, selecting the best samples of humanity, then destroyed the rest.

The Server collected it's samples of humanity and housed them in the "Epicenter", the facility in the center of the city in which it operated from. Once collected, the Server aimed the worlds weapons around the city and all over the world and disposed of who it considered expendible. The Server had its Ark and cleansed the rest of the earth, but as we know, humanity is a hard virus to get rid of. Since the cleansing, humanity has survived, and for over a hundred years has tried to regain its place in the world.

Every year a man is sent to the west to defeat this menace, yet no one returns. This years Harvest Champion is a young man named Olin Rain, a child and nephew of former Champions. The story of Server follows Olin in his journey away from everything he knows into everything his was told to fear.

Will he make it to the Epicenter and defeat the Server or will he join the hundreds who have been sent before him?
