ChimeraA brilliant but disturbed scientist decides to freeze his children alive, while he races against time to cure their deadly genetic disease by unlocking the secret of immortality encoded within the DNA of the Turritopsis jellyfish. Imagine a world without aging, injury, disease or death. Quint’s obsesson with this utopian dream pushes him to the edge of his sanity. Rather than risk losing his dying children, Quint decides to preserve them in a cryonic ametabolic state while he researches genetic modifications that would induce in them the regenerative abilities of the “immortal” Turritopsis jellyfish. Quint’s desperate need for embryonic stem cells sets him on a collision course with Masterson, a shadowy figure, whose bizarre motives trigger a chain of events with far-reaching consequences. Two wins at 16th Annual Boston International Film Festival: Indie Spirit Best Picture Award: Maurice Haeems for “CHIMERA” The Phoenix Film Festival: Two wins at New York City Independent Film Festival Part sci-fi, part thriller, part horror, and all outstanding! Excellent review of Chimera in TG Geek“Chimera” is part sci-fi, part thriller, part horror, and all outstanding!"From the first few minutes of this film I immediately realized that I was in store for something entirely different. It doesn’t play like your typical monster horror movie, rather it shows us the horror of humanity and exposes some of our darker natures and obsessions, as well as highly compromised morality, all in the name of science. Chimera is a very intelligent film, and unlike some big studio movies that feel the need to thump the viewer over the head with obvious plot points, Haeems assumes that his audience is equally intelligent and will accept this film as it is presented to them.

Read the full review by Ben Ragunton, December 7, 2017 “You name it, We talk about it.” Keith Lane is TG Geeks Sound Engineer, Producer, Website Co-Administrator, and general Jack of all Trades.
Ben Ragunton comes to TG Geeks as its news host and occasional commentator on a variety of subjects. When Ben received his first iPod he started to explore the wild and wooly world of podcasts. It was then that he discovered Slice Of SciFi and knew this was something that he wanted to do. Then in 2010 he became the co-host of the new podcast Fusion Patrol, and shortly afterwards joined Slice Of SciFi, first as geek commentator and then later as one of the show hosts. Since then he helped start up No Baggage Attached Podcast as well as TG Geeks with his husband, Keith Lane. Ben has an unquenchable thirst for a variety of geeky things, especially in the area of science fiction and comic books. As he’s fond of saying, Babylon 5 introduced him to his husband, and it was Doctor Who which sealed the deal! Ben is also a musician and can sometimes be seen singing with various choral groups in the greater Phoenix valley, as well as sometimes performing as a guitarist for a variety of functions. He is also an amateur photographer, and whenever the opportunity allows for it, can be seen with his husband walking around Disneyland.
