My Inventions Trailer (2009)

The trailer for the short My Inventions. In a modest Manhattan hotel room, an 80-year-old pigeon-loving eccentric recounts the tale of his rise and fall in "lost" interview footage. He was brilliant, flamboyant, celebrated -- one of mankind's greatest inventors, He was the next step in the evolution of mankind…or so he claimed. But maybe, just maybe, he was right! He changed our world irrevocably, but he died, virtually forgotten. He obsessively tried to lead the way to a technological utopia but was undone by self-serving businessmen and rival inventors. This is the brief history of the life and legend of NIKOLA TESLA, the inventor of the world's electrical system, its wireless technology, and the infamous death ray!
