It was aaaaaaaaaaall the way back in 2009 that we first came across Canadian filmmaker David James Fernandes. The occassion was his impressive scifi short Re-Wire, a film that promised good things to come. And they've taken a while but Fernandes is back now with a trailer for another impressive scifi concept, this one titled Meld. Nisa Gunduz stars in Meld as Karine Ahmed, a 25 yr old woman who tries a new party drug called Meld. The next morning she discovers she can eavesdrop on other people's texts, emails, searches and photos – their entire digital lives are suddenly accessible to her, as easy as thinking. It's fun – until she discovers that a dangerous group is using these abilities to control politicians and...

The absence of David-James Fernades' Re-Wire from this year's edition of the Worldwide Short Film Festival was a real head scratcher for me, the local production seeming like an obvious pick for the festival's SciFi program, at the bare minimum, and possibly one of the festival's competitive official selection programs. But while I personally think it's far and away one of the better science fiction shorts of the year it didn't make it in for some reason, which means local audiences have not yet had the chance to see Splice co-star Brandon McGibbon deliver a sterling performance as a young man seeking the help of an unorthodox neurosurgeon to rid him of 'the fear'.
McGibbon has a relatively minor role in Splice - he's Adrien Brody's brother - but he's front and center from start to finish of this and he's excellent. Take a look at this freshly released scene below.

Back in late October I received an email from a young film maker by the name of David James Fernandes. "Check out my website", he said, "I've got a bunch of stills on there from a film I'm finishing up." I get this basic email thirty or forty times a week, on average, but the stills I found on Fernandes' site were miles above most of what people send. So I wrote him back and commented on the fact that he lives right around the corner from me and asked how close things were to be done. Really close. So close, in fact, that I chose not to run the stills at all, explaining that "A trailer will get the job done a whole lot better."
Good choice.
The film is Re-Wire, the trailer is done and it's fantastic. Starring Brandon McGibbon - soon to be quite well known thanks...
