The first step: my objectives

Creating this blog is the first step of a journey. The first step in the creation of an amateur cyberpunk / distopian / anticipation movie, without an important budget. Delimitations of this project are not set, I'm in a phase of research, discussion and testing.
I really don't know what will be the result of this creation process. It will depend on findings, interactions with you, chance, encounters... Everything is to built, freely.
It will be difficult to create a singular movie around these key topics (cyberpunk / distopy / anticipation). They interested me but I'm not an expert (my previous movie was a medieval fantasy one, you can see the trailer here). With your help, I'll try to determine what has been done on the subject and then, create my own world !
In 1921, Ievgueni Zamiatine already published We, a dystopian precursor novel particularly relevant. In the 80's, with Neuromancer, William Gibson created cyberpunk while the Internet was in its infancy. Many authors have invented great stories around these topics, they were visionaries, so it seems difficult to innovate.
Moreover, a film about Neuromancer will be produced this year. It will be hard to be different and not only seen like a 'Fanfilm'.
We have quasi no budget but I think with good will, passion and creativity, it's possible to make a cool movie.
