The Perfect 46

Movie · Drama · Sci-Fi

This "science factual" feature film has been lauded by MIT Technology Review, Scientific American, Science, and the London Evening Standard as "a worryingly believable cautionary tale."

Film Threat says The Perfect 46 is "...a fascinating film full of challenging ideas that puts your brain to work. [Whit] Hertford delivers...a tour de force performance..." as CEO of The Perfect 46 Jesse Darden. From an executive producer of Particle Fever, The Perfect 46 stars Whit Hertford (Jurassic Park) Keston John (The Good Place) James Kyson (Heroes) Robyn Cohen (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) and Don McManus (Magnolia).
