    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Filmed in October 2007, this movie had been stuck in post-production hell since 2010, only to show a incomplete cut to independent film festivals until a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2013 helped raise the funds to give the film a theatrical release.
    • Goofs
      Early in the film, PKD tells his buddy that he just finished his new novel and it will be published in hardcover (a nice change, since his early SF were all published by cheap paperback houses), then in reply to the question of it's subject he says, it's a what if the Germans won WWll premise. He's obviously referencing PKD's arguably most successful novel (it won the Hugo) published in 1963. The film is set in 1985, but since Dick was dead for three years already in this universe, maybe it was an intentional distortion.
    • Quotes
      • [first lines]
      • Phil: [narrating] My friend Nicolas Brady, who in his own way tried to saved the world, lived in Berkley practically his whole life. Back around 1985, Berkley seemed like an oasis in a country that had become polarized and divided. But fate, or God, or whatever, had something else in store for my friend Nick. And, as it turned out, for me too.
