TESLA: A CHILD OF LIGHT
By Thomas Lee Howell

GENRE: Biography, Family, Historical, Independent, Sci-fi
LOGLINE: An eccentric genius lives as an outcast in America.

SYNOPSIS:

Nikola Tesla is a dreamer with a poetic touch. Childhood experiments with his father Milutin lead to a lifetime of extra sensory perception and an ability to perceive inventions in his mind before committing his creations to existence. At age 12 he visualizes the principle of a rotating magnetic field. Nikola develops plans for an induction motor that becomes his first step toward the successful utilization of alternating current. The scientist has few allies. Mark Twain is one of the friends he trusts. Tesla never has a home in America, choosing instead to live in hotels. His ‘battle of the currents’ with Edison is touched upon in our movie. When he mentions contacting aliens using his free energy device, American media misquotes him as saying he is a ‘well known leader sent from Venus to aid mankind’. If Nikola Tesla was given the task of saving human beings from self destruction, why did his mission fail?
