Described by director Don Schechter as Children of Man meets Strange Days, Ascendants tells the story of a dystopian world in which some people will ascend to another life and the rest will not. This creates an ugly division between the privileged, who have souls, and the “biomasses,” who do not.
You can view Don and Nadia’s launch for funds, followed afterwards by the first short prequel to the feature film. Johnny plays Sebastian, who appears briefly as a scientist in this first episode, and who will play a more significant role in episode 2.
