UPCOMING SHORT FILM -- Justice
There's a nail-biting thriller that is going to be filmed this month in Orlando, FL. It's called Justice! It's a short drama directed by Nathan McMahon and presented by Dark Elf Films, August Moon and Demarco Films.
SYNOPSIS: A young girl witnesses the rape and murder of her mother, which leads her into a tailspin of drugs, sex and an unending whirlwind of degradation. The man responsible, John, recently released from prison for the crime, is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Racked with guilt, determined to seek out the girl, Heidi, he sets out on a quest to allow her the justice she deserves. Fighting through pain, overcoming any obstacle in his way, he ultimately comes face-to-face with her, in an open field, with him standing at the precipice of a recently dug grave, and hands her a gun.
"Put your past to rest".
I had the pleasure of attending one of the casting calls in a cool restaurant, surrounded by SO much talent. All of it was mind-blowing!
And people CLAIM that you need to go to LA or NYC to become an actress! So not true! I was able to talk to some of the actors/actresses as well as crew members that are part of the film! Dark Elf Films really appreciates the talent that showed up that night and blew us all away!
Here are just a few people who auditioned or are part of the crew for the film!
