ZERO 1
What’s makes Zero 1 comedy arthouse movie original?
Zero 1 is a movie based around Matt Whistler trying to make a comedy film from within the confines of an animated Robots head. In Zero1, Matt Whistler attempts to fund his street comedy movie, through selling digital robot artwork. The entire film blurs the boundaries of fiction and non-fiction.
Environmentally friendly, recycling and low carbon film :
Zero1 is 90% filmed locally and Matt Whistler's films each comedy scene, with props he found in Brighton. So the development of the film is dictated by his next find. A sort of Dice Man of comedy.
Zero 1 is playful, dark and the next generation of addictive film and internet series. The fact that it incorporates reality with non- reality in terms of a documented real journey paralleled with a robotic existence in a robots head, gives Zero 1 the leading edge over other movies.
Tonally, the goal is to create the 21st century facsimile of all the lovable bafoon slapstick greats for example Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, Toto, Laurel and Hardy .
The 4 part movie
The movie is packed with street comedy, CGI special effects, robotics and multi -persona characters all played by Matt Whistler. Zero 1 will also surprise us with cameos from Hollywood and Monty Python Director Terry Jones and Troma productions independent god and film director Lloyd Kaufman.
Here is Lloyd Kaufman after returning from Cannes and visiting Matt Whistler's robot art exhibition in Manhattan. This clip will appear in Zero 1, when Matt Whistler interacts with Lloyd via the inside of a robots head called YOU GUESSED IT !.... Zero 1.
Here are a couple of film stills from Zero 1 with Monty Python actress Carol Cleveland
Below is an unedited clip of the forthcoming movie Zero 1 with Carol Cleveland . This is a scene where Matt Whistler is travelling from within the confines of robots head Zero 1.

The interview (below) at Cannes Film Festival is part of the story in Zero 1. In the movie Matt Whistler leaves the robots head, packs his bags and hits the Cannes film festival. The Cannes interview is real and is mixed in with MW's life as a filmmaker and digital robot artist via the Head Quarters inside the head of robot Zero 1. So your getting the idea, the movie is part fiction and part non- fiction.
Why is Zero 1 a top banana movie ? and more about Matt Whistler ...
As a child Matt Whistler had an obsession with robots and created huge felt tip creations to display on his bedroom walls. His early interest in art combined with the use of flip out cameras and trick photography, were the early signs of a man with the blood of a filmmaker. There are no independent movies to date that incorporate the life of a digital artist, self styled stuntman and comic actor filmically and Zero 1 is Matt Whistler's biopic and fantastical journey to exhibit his digital BOT art in a robot hotel in Manhattan and support Independant filmmaking at the Cannes film festival.
Here are a couple of stills from Matt Whistler's Zero 1 robot art exhibition. The Zero 1 robot art exhibitions are in the movie and actually happened, there are future Robot exhibitions planned, WATCH THIS SPACE ! Again this is all centered around life living inside animated robot head Zero 1. Shermental !!
