**THE PROJECT Y2K25** will be a feature film shot in later February 2026 in the Kansas City area.
**THE STORY **The story details the dramatic impact of a national election such as the current one, and policies such as Project 2025 on a fictional small city library. The library, in many respects, stands in for the chaotic conditions happening to the country itself. Librarians are the heroes of this story.
Particularly a few reference librarians and their clear-eyed understanding of what libraries stand for and the potential they possess as they rise to confront the cravenness, cowardice and destruction that ensues as the story unfolds.
Todd Parker…male 40s attorney (personal injury cases). He is ambitious and a conservative activist. Ambitious. One of the film’s opportunists and villains.
Mek (Tyler Janek) ...male or female 20s – early 40s, tech nerd, ultraconservative activist. He believes in a medieval system of restrictions brought about by technology.
Mulvane Tillis…male 50s – 60s, library board member, banker, conservative. He is manipulative, a bully and intensely opportunistic.
Marla Gleeson Wright…female 60s – 80s, library board president, wealthy and privileged. A little out of touch.
Mia Jenner…female 30s – 40s board member, assistant, and sycophant to her aunt Marla. She has an incomplete personality.

confused and disillusioned when challenges become too intense.
