The Story

In 2078 something had stopped the motor of the world.

Decades later, civilization is still recovering from the global network crash. In this post-dystopian age, remnants of the old technologies remain, including cyborgs and man-machine interfaces. To regulate the disaffected remnants - colloquially known as 'Burnouts' - the Unified Cybernetics Foundation is formed to deal with post-human law enforcement.

It is now 2106, one hundred years in the present. When two Toronto police detectives are caught in the middle of a specific multiple murder case involving Burnouts, UCF sends one of their Marshals to assist.

And when the Foundation gets involved, nothing is ever simple.

What is UCF?

Originally standing for 'Unnamed Cyberpunk Film', UCF is a post-cyberpunk continuity created as a ‘test franchise’ for Key Pixel. While it shares many staples of the cyberpunk genre – namely augmented humans and machine interfaces – it does not focus on typical plot elements a global information network nor does a dystopic society pervade the narrative. Rather, the story is driven by a pulp novel ethic.

"For a no budget short, your ideas were clearly there. The execution on it is limited to your budget but the ambition you sought after is highly respected in my books. Cyberpunk does not need to be expensive. Cyberpunk needs heart. "

- Pearry R. Teo,
Writer & Director of The Gene Generation

"UCF: Toronto Cybercide provides us an interesting, no-budget cyberpunk flick. I can only imagine the amount of [dedication] that goes in to a project such as this - in many instances this clearly shows. In some places, such as the “mood” moments, it clearly excels."
