A SIMPLE QUESTION

Did you know that someone is kidnapped every six hours in Mexico? That means that by our Starbuck’s lunch break, someone’s life hangs in the balance. And by the end of our working day, as we’re fighting the traffic to get home, someone else is fighting just to stay alive. If that “someone” happens to be a relative or best friend, would you risk your own life to save theirs?

Drawn from actual events, RITUALS takes a magnifying glass to the tightest of friendships and crashes it against a horrifying reality creating an internal struggle to do what may be viewed as honorable and heroic or stoic and suicidal.

THE THRILLER GENRE

Terror, it is that voice in our head that tells us to close our eyes, but the Thrill has us peeking through our fingers in suspense. And that is what this genre is all about. The current trend is leaning towards the darker, more graphic and gory, and this is where RITUALS truly shines. RITUALS does not rely on visual gore to instill the terrors of kidnapping, murder and human sacrifice, but with more tangible issues such as fear, isolation and uncertainty... and does so in a way that will have you laughing and comfortable one minute, then cringing with your mouth agape at the next.

 

This project offers:

  • A Director/Producer whose worked on films that have amassed more than half a billion dollars 
  • Tone, look and feel of critically and commercially successful films
  • A re-imagined genre which appeals not only to men, but also women
  • Up and coming talent for cast
  • A gripping story about fighting for life, love, and loss ripped right from the headlines.

Any funds raised short of our goal will be used toward beginning the production process as well as securing any neccessary additional funding to reach our budget goal. Any funds raised  beyond our goal will be used solely for increasing production value, post production costs, promotion and advertising. As well, it is critically important to us to fulfill our "Perks" promises to all of our faithful and generous contributors.
