Producer for packaging. - a job post by Aleksandr Rozhnov

About the job

Friends, I have created a project called “Fast as a Fly.” It is a feature-length film, a mix of sports drama and science fiction. However, to promote the project, I need a producer who can package and advance it. Naturally, payment and fees will be arranged after promotion and the signing of a contract.

The project turned out to be quite interesting and unusual, with the main events taking place in London. If anyone is interested in this kind of collaboration, please reach out below. I am providing the logline and synopsis of the project.

LOGLINE:

A failing boxer takes an experimental elixir created by his scientist father and gains insect-like speed and power — but as his career soars, his body ages rapidly, and time becomes his fiercest opponent. 

SYNOPSIS:

Steve is a struggling boxer living in London. He’s not very good, and every fight feels like a battle; he loses more often than he wins. Boxing is mostly for his mother, Linda, a former promoter in Saudi Arabia who moved to London with her husband, Muhammad, a scientist obsessed with studying flies and creating medicines based on their DNA.

Steve knows that becoming a great boxer requires years of training and dedication, but he wants instant success. One night, he brings his girlfriend, a chemistry and biology student, to his father’s lab to show her where he works. After a few drinks, Steve accidentally consumes a mysterious elixir left on the lab table.

The elixir transforms him: he begins seeing the world in slow motion, his reflexes become superhuman, and he gains incredible strength. Suddenly, Steve dominates the boxing world. With his mother as his promoter, he quickly rises to Olympic glory and then world champion status.

But the elixir has a deadly side effect: it accelerates aging. Linda soon realizes that her son is aging rapidly. Within her, the professional promoter and the loving mother wage a painful battle. When she finally accepts that Steve won’t survive, she decides he should live a bright, unforgettable life full of victories, achievements, and wealth even if it means burning out too soon. Muhammad, however, never understands her decision and continues desperately searching for a cure.

Steve’s health deteriorates rapidly, his strength fades, and eventually he starts losing fight after fight. The pressures of fame and decline take a toll, his mother dies of a heart attack, and soon after, his father perishes in a lab fire.

Just as it seems Steve’s life is over, he wakes up young again. The elixir was never consumed; he had merely fallen asleep after drinking. His girlfriend, who never would have let him drink it, reassures him. The terrifying vision was a dream, a warning about shortcuts and ambition.

Steve emerges with a renewed understanding: true success comes from hard work, discipline, and perseverance, not magic or quick fixes. He returns to the gym, ready to build his strength, his skills, and his life the right way. But the thought of the elixir and the possibility of quickly becoming a successful boxer never leaves him. He seriously considers using the elixir to achieve his goals, and ultimately decides to sneak into his father’s lab and drink it.
