In Escape From Planet Omega-12, a young woman is marooned on a primordial alien world filled with hostile alien life. With only a few weapons, a small floating robot, and the aid of a strange entity that has absorbed the personality of her dead husband, she must remain on the move to avoid capture from a mysterious hidden enemy.

Created in the tradition of stories like Fire & Ice, Heavy Metal, and Samurai Jack, combining practical effects miniatures and puppets with traditional animation, Omega-12 aims to infuse science fiction and the pop-culture entertainment landscape at large with new energy in the hopes to deliver what Hollywood refuses to.

This movie is planned as the first in the Sci-Exploitation Anthology, a collection of independent feature films, series, and short films, some stand-alone and others continuous, told in both live-action and animated formats. Promising to use the best aspects of past beloved franchises in both storytelling and techniques, combined with the latest in consumer and open-source technology, Sci-Exploitation aims to tell stories of high adventure, romance, and heroism.

The campaign is looking for one-thousand true sci-fi/fantasy fans to help change how the entertainment industry at large approaches creating original content in new and unusual ways, doing so on a reasonable budget so that they're not beholden to major studios that are banking on big returns.
