Writer/director Anthony de Lioncourt’s “The Protokon,” a true sci-fi thriller, will make its Long Island debut at Eternal Con on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14 at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Garden City.
“The Protokon” derives its cinematic style straight from the 1980’s, as de Lioncourt explores one man’s innermost turmoil as he fights to regain his sense of right or wrong, darkness or light.
Under the most tragic of circumstances a wounded man can choose to let darkness consume him and revenge be his ally or fight to take back a remainder of the man he once was.
When a seemingly ordinary day turns unimaginably devastating, James Tain is left a broken man after being forced to watch the murder of his beloved fiancee, Dawn, at the hands of a brutal biker gang.
As Tain struggles with his horrible reality he becomes a silent man with only the thought of revenge to encompass his unknown future. When this chance is made available at the hands of a mysteriously unknown source, he begins down a path which may unwittingly lead to his role in the destruction of mankind and a new identity as “Project Midnight”.
