CNR 2014: Lectures: Bernie Stern (USA): Alternate Barbarella and Artificial Humans

Bernie Stern has been working in VFX as a Producer since 2006. In the VFX world, Stern has worked on various big budget projects, from HBO's THE PACIFIC and BOARDWALK EMPIRE (where he was honored for his contribution to the winning of a Primetime Emmy), to LIFE OF PI.

As producer of THE SHOW BUSINESSMAN, he received an award for standout filmmaking as a finalist in the Las Vegas Film Festival Feature competition.

Stern's most recent feature, THE WORST YEAR OF MY LIFE, just premiered at the TCL Chinese Theater in the Dances With Films Festival. In addition to features, Stern produces web / TV content for Dynamic Range Media (GUMSHOE, THE KILL CORPORATION, both of which are in competition at the Independent Television Festival in Vermont this month) and independently (TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD has been accepted to the LAFemme Festival in October.)

In 2012, he produced the POC short film RUR GENESIS, which has screened at various Comic Cons such as Camikaze (2013), Gallifrey One (2014), Phoenix Comic Con (2014), and most recently was invited to screen at Cafe Neu Romance in Prague this November.

He's also in development with Canadian, Peace Point Productions on a sexy, action packed reality series, STUNTWOMEN and in development on the elevated action / horror feature, DEAD SAND, helmed by Toby Wilkins.

Alternate Barbarella and Artificial Humans
I will discuss the reasons Helicon Arts undertook the classic work, R.U.R. and chose to set in the unlikely time period of an alternate 1969.

The vision for this project is heavily influenced by the colors and themes; weapons and style; and sex and violence of this crucial time in history.

There are vast differences between the world R.U.R. was written in, when we've set our piece, and now; but the messages of social justice, free will and strength are universal. I will discuss the short film itself, and what we hope to do with the broader vision of the feature film.
