In a dystopian world, Michelle lives everyday battling with DNA Hackers who use their skills to hack
into people's bodies and kill them. She is an assassin, battling her past demons and trying to keep her
younger and extroverted brother, Jackie, out of trouble. When Jackie gets involved in a petty crime of
robbery, he propels himself into the world of DNA Hackers, Shylocks (Loan Sharks) and Gang Fights.
Wanting the respect that the world has never given to him only makes it harder for Jackie to peel
himself away from the underground trades, against the hopes of his sister, Michelle. Michelle always
wanted to leave the city and lead a calm and quiet lifestyle. As emotions and gunfire get into the way,
Michelle and Jackie soon find themselves battling between their lives and finding out that in an
immoral world, love can still survive. Blood is thicker than water.

The Gene Generation was a project that Keith Collea took upon as his first project. A man of multi
talents, he has also wrote, produced and edited it. While the original director's cut was 2hrs 15mins,
I think the producer's cut was definitely more paced and had more packed into that little time.

Making my first feature was truly an experience that is hard for me to express. I have met wonderful
and talented people who have taught me a lot during the process. The dynamics of working on The
Gene Generation is also very different than what I was used to making short films previously. But
I personally prefer making features as it allows me to really get involved in the actual process where
much has still to be learn. The Gene Generation was a success as a first feature and I hope that it will
become a staple of my growing vision and direction in my career and art.
