The show plays on www.morningshowcentral.com/watch on Saturdays, from 2-4pm EST. On the show, there will be several sci-fi films for you to see, and you can chat with the filmmakers in the show chat room. And, there's going to be a live interview with filmmaking brothers Joe and Nick Fiorella, who are currently working on a sci-fi film. They've got exclusive behind the scenes footage from this film and others to show.
Films being played:

In 2055, artificial intelligence is possible. The government tries desperately to control the use and abuse of cybernetic beings while society struggles to accept them. Software hackers are both highly coveted resources and enemies of the state. Lt. James Lee, computer psychologist, embarks on his first assignment. His wits and training will be put to the test. But what about his beliefs? In a time of self-aware software, who exactly is endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights? Man? Or machine?

E90-1248 is working as a sorter of building material in one of two towers which are facing each other in an endless expanse of water. His life is dedicated to the growth of the tower, because the water level is rising. When an accident happens, he finds himself in the bottom storey of the building, a place where all those people are shunted off to, whom the upper storeys of the tower can no longer accommodate. E90-1248 becomes aware of the fact that the tower is well on its way to destroy itself and that he is the only person able to save the human race from perishing.
A Classics Segment about the 1957 Classic "Kronos".
And a promotional video from SESAC Composer Dana Soloman.

Mark Cheng, Director of “Deployment Strategy"
