Synopsis:

Carl Foster is a man committed to his work but a man who also knows he should give more time to his family. Taking a much needed break from the pressures of his professional life he embarks on a weekend vacation with his wife, daughter, and young son. But what begins as a pleasant, if somewhat conversationally strained journey, ends in a flurry of violent abuse, and spine-tingling terror as Carl, inadvisedly confronting a group of Carnival - type travellers, watches in desperation as the ones he loves are brutalised and humiliated in the dank, and grimy confines of an abandioned roadside diner. Will he be able to find a way for them all to escape, or are they destined to disappear without trace? Is everything quite as it seems or is the line between reality and fantasy blurred even for those who watch? Is Carl really the epitome of 'family man' that we have come to think of him as? Or is he something all-together more insipid and sinister? Whichever and whatever he is only time and the passage of cruel and tormented event will reveal. But rest assured -life, and death, is never as clearcut as they might seem to be.

Assembly............

The first 'show-worthy' assembly will be completed next Thursday (22nd July) and the final cut should be finalised by the second week of October 2010 ready for the Raindance Int'l Film Fest, and thereafter AFM '10. We have assembled a great team for post production and the sound, score, and vfx elements are in place ready to move once we lock the first sequence of picture which I hope will be in 2-4 weeks time. So far everything is running smoothly and the assembly looks very intriguing........dark, gritty, and engaging.
