INFLECTION is a calculus-based parody of Inception, made during the 2014-2015 school year as an end-of-year project for Mrs. Reynolds' AP Calculus BC class.

In March 2020, YouTube increased the sensitivity of their ContentID system, and we finally got caught for using Hans Zimmer's score. (Is this fair use? Probably not, but I'm not a lawyer). The video was taken down, so this is its new home.

Inflection was a massive group effort, and wouldn't have been possible without Michael Lee, Nick Furukawa, Jon McMahon, Priya Pookkulam, Micky Bonamer, Justin Korfhage, Hashim Ahmed, Luv Patel, Peter Sankovic, Lauren Foster, Allison Reynolds, and others. Further credits can be found at the end of the video. Thank you to everyone involved, and thank you to you for visiting this site!

Original YouTube video description:

INFLECTION - Calculus Inception Parody Movie (2015)

From the creators of The Sine Wine and the producer of The BC Games comes an all-new feature length epic calculus adventure.

Leonardo DiCalcrio (Micky Bonamer) is in possession of a special device: The Wolfram-Alpha Machine, a contraption which allows him to create a virtual reality out of any math problem, which he can then navigate to steal the answer. After a horrifying turn of events renders him unable to attend college, Leo turns to the only livelihood he knows: working with his friend Joseph Gordon-Graphit (Justin Korfhage) selling his thievery skills to underclassmen. But suddenly it seems one last job could give him his life back if only he can accomplish the impossible--inflection. Instead of the perfect heist, Leo and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse, their task is not to steal an answer but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only DiCalcrio could have seen coming.

MPAA Rating: PG? Maybe?
