Feature film debut SUM OF THE PARTS, will have its Canadian premiere at the 5th Annual ReelHeART International Film Festival (RHIFF), June 22-27, 2009.

When he finds himself with a murdered best friend and a mysterious device that people seem willing to kill for, he must dig into his past and become the man his father was…literally.

This innovative film was conceived and brought to fruition by filmmaker, writer, director Raymond Steers who worked on every aspect of this movie from its inception, including playing the lead character Batty. “For my

first film I wanted to create something unlike anything I’d ever seen before said Steers. “I also wanted to make a film that didn’t pander to the lowest common denominator, that was highly entertaining but also chock full of highly accurate and technical information Shot on a shoe-string budget on film, DV and HD Video, the film blends action, science fiction, innovative editing and a montage of photos and computer FX to reveal a captivating and suspenseful thrill ride that Willamette Week called .a dollar-store Enemy of the State" and .a pretty cool film"
