Story
Mission Statement
Growing up, myself and my team has always loved Sci-Fi films like: Bladerunner, Matrix, or even Pi for instance... This is what motivated us to create Stalemate and pay homage to past films we've always loved. With a little twist and adding in organized crime - this is a movie we were born to make!About The Project

As a group of aspiring filmmakers, student filmmakers, and industry professionals - we thrive off creating projects for the people around us to enjoy and experience. One of the major quotes that we all live by is our company motto: “Created To Create”. As artists, we have to find it within ourselves to share beautiful work with the world. The Diamond Eye is home to so many wondeful creators... and with the platform we have built through the years - we have been able to grow together and share art as a community. With our amazing crew, cast, and YOU behind us - Stalemate will be our best film to date!
'Stalemate... The dramatic, sci-fi, gritty, underground-tale of an infamous hacker named Null. Known for his incredible skill in building algorithmic sequences and cracking codes - one of his clients, Walker, raises the ante and comes to him with a new sequence like no other…. Something the human mind is incapable of comprehending.
By his side, his trusty side-kick and best friend Fin, works as his liaison or middle man to handle the money, and handle the business. Having life long dreams to leave their crime ridden neighborhood - they started this underground business to simply escape. With Null behind the computer, and Fin behind the deals, these two are the perfect dynamic duo… But in the end, Stalemate is reached.
The money for this project will be dispersed in many areas, as shown in the pie chart. Not only will the money be used for production needs, but a small amount of it will be used to secure a safe and healthy set for all of our cast and crew members. During the pandemic, filmmaking has become a struggle in some aspects, and having the funds to secure safety is most important to us.
