Bad To The Mitochondria

Gene

The U.S. Government has instituted a secret program to use violent prison inmates as test subjects in an attempt to find a "cure" or "treatment" for a rare genetic defect that causes psychosis.  But when the head researcher at the facility is found dead in his office, FBI Agent Griff Krenshaw is sent to investigate.  As Griff delves deeper into the strange world of the prison, he begins to see disturbing visions that lead him to believe there's an evil force at work in that prison - and it isn't human.  Can he figure out what's real and what's just in his head before it's too late?

  • Audition for a walk-on role - the three successful actors (or actresses) get round trip airfare and overnight accommodations plus film immortality

Hollywood Sign

We want you to be involved with the making of this film!

We Need Your Help To Make This Film A Reality

We need $30,000 to pay cast and crew during principal photography to make this film happen.  We can't do this alone - we need your help and support.

Every Single Contribution Brings Us Closer To Our Goal

Not just the big contributions (although those certainly help).  Can't swing $5,000 to be an Executive Producer?  Then take a look at our Funder Advisory Board for $20 - you get to participate in an online test screening of the film during post-production plus vote on other items, such as key art and T-shirt designs.  A contribution of only $5 secures you an electronic copy of the script.
