The Story
About the Story
This story is about an escaped fugitive who discovers he's taking part in a live simulation where every moral decision determines his eligibility for parole and the person who decides is the mother of the victim he killed. It's The Truman Show meets The Fugitive.
Why is this Film Important?
This film is important to me because it can plant a seed to help change the criminal justice system from punishment to rehabilitation. If a person spends 10 years in jail, how do we know if their morals have changed for the better? What if we placed a series of hidden moral tests to see if they're safe to return to society? That's what this film explores.
Based on an Award-Winning Movie Screenplay
The Feature Length Screenplay version of this story won "Best Thriller Screenplay" at the Los Angeles Film Awards in 2019.
Purpose of The Film
The purpose of making film is to use it as a proof-of-concept to attract Producers and Investors to make the full-length movie version.
Finishing Funds for the Film
The good news is... 60% of our film has already been shot! We only need funds for the last remaining shoot day and for post-production. Joe Lam has produced over 200 films/videos so he has a track record of getting projects done.
Meet the Cast
Starring: Andrew Golubic, Brent Henry Gutierrez, Georgina Elizabeth Okon, Nick James, Patrick Zeller, Colin Campbell, Jessica DiGiovanni, Alicia Kelly, Matthew Gilbert, and Silvia Cam.
