Gen RX

This film reminds me a lot of a Maze Runner, Divergent or even The Hunger Games Series. It has the action with the same adventure feel that encapsulates you the minute the film begins. The story line is extremely interesting, set in the future, I love how it's about somewhat of a rebellion. It reminded me a lot of Ray Bradbury's books or even 1984 by George Orwell. I think the overall concept of the film would make a first rate television series. The characters are people that I would want to tune into each week and learn more and more about their different identities. Plus John Taschner created a very compelling futuristic society which would work well in a week to week story.

Working with John on the Set of GenRx was a great insight into the filmmakers of the future. Natural talent combined with USC schooling make John a formidable force in story telling and scenery. GenRx is a tale that challenges perception and never drops pace. This should be converted into a feature immediately! The Talent that was brought on for this project was top notch and perfectly cast, and work on location with John and his team was amazing. few film students have such a grounding in how to tell stories especially in the action genre. John's work is much more than the tactical militant fantasies or VFX exercises often seen at this level of SciFi/Action production. With the right team and budget, Johns work will be seen and appreciate by the world over. I'd certainly be excited to work with John again.

Simply sensational! I can't believe this deeply thrilling drama was manifested within 2 weeks! John Taschner is a modern marvel. It's rare a short film to receive an award from a foreign government or any government, but this crafty film really deserved it! Truly thought-provoking cinema seems to be the director's wheelhouse, as I gathered from his filmography (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4426985/) that he is a film maker with a vision of changing the world for the better; now that showcases a quality of director and artistic soul that touches the highest echelon of artistic expression. Oh, how I adored doe-eyed Miss Melissa Marie Elias' depiction of the rebel with a cause. All I can say about this film without giving too much of the gem away is that I can't wait for more of this level of quality art/film!

Gen RX and Hunger Games are more than youth-oriented films reaching a large swath of moviegoers, as dystopian styled films provide critical escape from our daily worries.
