The Kamenka Experiment

THE STORY is set in the present and deals with the ethical and sinister development of performance-enhancement drugs by the government military. Defense News USA has documented that US Special Operations Command is involved in developing performance-enhancing drugs to push the abilities and endurance of its forces beyond current human limits. In our story, PharmoTech International has been at the cutting edge of developing enhancement drugs for the military for decades and has spent millions on developing a new wonder drug - Kamenka 194 - Designed to create a better, strong, faster and more aggressive soldier. Five soldiers are selected to take part in the experiment deep underground in a post-war nuclear bunker under the North Yorkshire Moors. Locked in a hermetically sealed chamber, they are monitored for 21 days. What happens to them psychologically and physically during their confinement will be shocking.

Writer Biography - Anthony Straeger

As director and producer I’ve been responsible for producing a varied range of content and solutions providing pre-production budgets, scripts and editing through to the final output. I love finding creative solution and strategy to almost any kind of problem. Being effective and efficient isn’t a business to me it’s fun. Writing is cathartic and gives me a playground to run around in. I've writer several screenplays (mainly in the horror genre) and short film scripts along with countless corporate scripts.

Writer Statement

The main theme centre's around corporate greed and disregard for anything other than profit - where the means justifies the end. Living in the modern era, we note that the stakeholder comes first. The people of the West are continually whitewashed by liberal politics that feign care. To quote Martin Shkreli on purchasing his life-saving drug and then selling it for an inflated price - I can see how it looks greedy, but I think there are a lot of altruistic properties to it. In this story, the physical and mental suffering of the victims/subjects inflicted by our anti-hero Woodruff results in her ultimate downfall.
