Love can be destructive, even in the most well-adjusted hands. Combine a tragic love story and a crazed genius with designs on complete global destruction, and you have an apocalyptic scenario the likes of which the world has never seen.

After a doomsday device accident maims evil genius Max Von Max (Dan Bierne, THE TROTSKY) and leaves his assistant and lover (Christine Ghawi, CELINE) with total amnesia, there’s only one solution—construct a robotic replica to woo the now-mild-mannered amnesiac back into the world of evil. But things aren’t as simple as they seem—especially with do-gooder The Ovation hot on Von Max’s trail.

The debut feature from former Calgarian Patrick Downing (of The Dudes and A-Team fame), I (HEART) DOOMSDAY is an absurdist take on sci-fi and romance conventions. Downing’s world is crammed with wolf brains, intelligent supercomputers, love-struck androids and, most importantly, doomsday devices capable of annihilating the Earth, all affectionately rendered in a freewheeling, ultra-low-budget style. It may be deliberately devoid of polish, but it more than makes up for it with humor, creativity and a whole lot of heart.
