Double
by Matt Moeller
"After undergoing a radical self-improvement procedure, a young man washes ashore to discover he’s been replaced by a flawless duplicate and must fight to reclaim his life before it’s erased entirely."
Double is a tense sci-fi thriller about identity, perfection, and the cost of self-improvement. Greg, insecure about his relationship and his worth, turns to Apex’s cutting-edge genetic therapy in hopes of becoming a better man. But the procedure is more sinister than advertised. Awakening from what was meant to be his death, Greg escapes a medical facility only to find his girlfriend enamored with a “new” version of himself—stronger, sharper, everything he thought he wanted to be. Hunted by security forces and haunted by the life now stolen from him, Greg must navigate a world where his double thrives in his place. The film asks: when perfection is possible, what happens to the imperfect originals left behind?

(John Matthew Moeller)JUST A BIG OL' NERD
Matt Moeller has aspired to be a writer, director, and funnyman since living in Orlando, Florida in 2004 which is basically the cretaceous period at this point. He’s written a book about improv comedy, hosted a live show where he got romantically dumped on stage 20 times in one night, made a ton of little fun videos for channel101 and YouTube, and now he’s full port into writing and directing horror shorts. This is the first you’ve heard of him and you’re unimpressed, but somewhat tickled at his self deprecation and meta humor. Wait, he’s standing right behind you right now, isn’t he?
