Story
Mission Statement
The lead of All Roads Lead To Kill will be played by an African American male and the female romantic interest is Caucasian. It is rare in motion pictures that a male person of color couples with a white female and I believe this should change.About The Project
An Army Ranger comes home to find his girlfriend has left him for another man, which leads him down a dark and tormented path.
This story will blend action and romance in a way not too often done.
It will act as a proof of concept for the feature film POST TRAUMATIC already written by David Matillo that follows a soldier returning from the middle east who becomes a vigilante to combat his PTSD, but when this violent road takes him farther from himself, the love of a cancer survivor and guidance of a vet counselor become his only road to salvation.
THE ROMANCE
This short film starts off with a whimsical romance akin to a Terrance Malick film. Loving passion, a playful sensuality, an avalanche of tenderness told through wide angle close ups, dream like push ins, voice over, and a touching score.
THE ACTION
As with any good action movie we need some high octane speed. On his descent into chaos, we have a hyper-intense motorcycle sequence to emphasize the manic and revved up emotions Tristan is going through. In the finale we have a one on three fight in a John Wick/Jason Bourne style that has been prevised by one of the top up and coming fight choreographers in the business, currently working on the new Chris Hemsworth film Dhaka.
THE MESSAGE
Ultimately what this film becomes is a cautionary tale. The violent road our hero takes is actually a dream or rather a nightmare. He wakes up, still deployed overseas, still in a loving healthy relationship, but now he has gotten a glimpse into the destruction that will come if he ever lets his emotions take him over. This is a road he never wants to go down, but he is still a soldier, he is still in combat. He is still in fear of what awaits him when he returns home.

PRODUCER
Daniel Findlay was Associate Producer on the film Kill Me Three Times. In addition to being released in over forty foreign territories, KM3X was also sold to Magnolia Pictures in the United States for a seven figure sum and subsequently received a US theatrical release.

THE WRITER/DIRECTOR
