Replica is a short film by Sam Eilertsen, written by Sam Eilertsen and Harrison Heller. It was selected as a winner of the spring 2011 BTV Screenwriting Competition.

Replica takes place in a not-too-distant future in which humans have created a race of sentient androids. The androids (known as "grays" for their silver eyes) were built as slaves, but eventually gained equal rights with human beings. However, they remain an oppressed minority. Five years after Android Emancipation, an assassin armed with powerful weaponry starts killing the leaders of the Android Rights Movement, and a human detective is left the job of investigating the killings. Scorned by his fellow officers for his apparent sympathy with the grays, Detective Quinlan persists and begins to uncover a dangerous secret...

Replica premiered at the Avon Cinema on April 30th, 2012.
