Nanobots of Love
Project Summary (short)
Pitch: Wall-E meets Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Logline: Lovable Nanobots are mistakenly developed from recycled stem cells and save humanity from a deranged colonel.
Synopsis: DR. BOB RESLINCO and DR. JILL RUSSEL own an R and D company specializing in small science projects for large chip manufacturers. Jill believes she has figured out a way to create living Nanobots that can learn and feel as humans do. At first, Bob rejects her project because the payback is a long way off. But Jill convinces Bob to assist her before someone else develops the project first.
Jill cuts costs by using recycled stem cells from an on-going project. To her amazement, one morning she finds the Nanobots have evolved into a table tennis video game called “Pong”. The Nanobots soon develop an awareness. They infiltrate the internet and soak up all they can learn. They especially like late nineteenth century Vaudeville humor. For enjoyment, they shape shift into a Flea Circus with jugglers while entertaining everyone with corny jokes. Jill is convinced they are alive. She decides to dope them with an isotope to monitor their daily activities as their colony grows.
However, someone is watching the Nanobots with great interest. Fearing for their petri-dish lives, the Nanobots escape on the back of a stray dog. HOODIE, the wandering stray, is befriended by twins, SOPHIA and RICARDO. They rescue Hoodie from a construction site when visiting their AUNT DAISY in New Mexico.
Enter MAD COLONEL TULL. He is obsessed with Jill’s Nanobots and is bent on controlling time and all the dimensions in the universe.
Bio
Robert M Secreti Jr was born in Syracuse, New York graduating from Henninger HS. I served two tours with the
U.S. Air Force. repairing, launching, recovering bombers, tankers, and fighter aircraft. After leaving the service, my wife and I opened a tourist business in Lake Placid N.Y. selling weavings and locally obtained artisan products to the travelers. The seasons were too short so we decided to move on chasing more rainbows.
Finally we settled down in a little house, on a little road, with 2 little kids, a few furry little dogs and an occasional kitty. At that nice quiet spot in Saratoga County, I was finally able to relax and dream with stories running through my head.
With my military training and taking classes I have been employed by major corporations to maintain and install high tech machinery. This association with top engineers, techs, sergeants and scientists inspired me to develop these experiences into story lines of fictional fun.
We Danced Before Time, came from an idea I came up with during the hours waiting for aircraft to return to base. This is a time travel book centered around enterprising kids trying to stop the time traveling bandit Doctor Lothario from committing a caper to fund his diabolical plans. The doctor plans using the Family Fun Park's cash money in Florida.
In between projects I wrote the book, Secrets of the Craft Show Business. After 30 plus years selling goods at craft shows I saw a lot of venders that could possible use a few pointers.
Later traveling to NYC taking classes from writers, producers I finally met an editor. While meeting these industrial professionals I reread my published books realizing they needed cleaning up. The decision to rerelease these books properly edited is on my mind. Sometimes I wondered, should I revises them... or be proud I did something with very little guidance? Understand, these original projects were before Amazon took off.
After getting a professional editor with his guidance I turned We Danced Before Time into the script,
The Placid Bay Detectives.
Next came; Meet Danny Slaughter; suspense script about a high school entity posing as a young lad that enslaves people who dream to want something.
"Move over Chucky, wake up Freddy, it's time to Meet Danny Slaughter."
Then Demons; a horror script about an ancient energy whom was mistakenly released during the Revolution War and reawaken while some college students are filming a short movie near Lake Ontario, in Oswego County on the haunted Grey Road farm.
As time went by I wrote the pilot, The King in Miami, a family sitcom about a disgruntled factory worker "Vince" that dreams about running away and becoming a dance instructor on a cruse ship out of Miami. The only problem he can only dance the Merengue. Think; The Love Boat meets Star Trek.
After never really selling anything I have written. One morning I awoke having an epiphany deciding me to break out the antagonist from The Placid Bay Detectives; Doctor Lothario and write; "The Alchemist’s Son", a live Vaudeville 55 minute portal into the life of the time traveling Steam Punk bandit "Doctor Lothario".
See my Trailor below...
After leaving my last employer I wrote the script for
“The Nanobots of Love” a frolicking story about nanobots that were mistakenly made with recycled human stem cells that soon learn that they are alive and befriend twins, and a stray dog named Hoodie while visiting their aunt in Albuquerque, NM for winter break.
My proudest work so far; "Black Silver", a Broadway Musical about the historic Black Marshal, Bass Reeves who through street smarts dances and sings his way into your heart.
