"TradeCraft" - Synopsis
She's an unarmed spy on the run. Hunted by Zaslon, the lethal assassination unit of the SVR, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service. Her only hope is a CIA "private" contractor. Long past his prime, he is not at all what she is expecting.
Trade craft is the art of being a spy. But what is the cost it exacts from those who practice it? Where a false blink or a small innuendo can mean sudden death.
It's about countries and secrets. But ultimately, it's about people. No matter how sophisticated the technology becomes, it will always come down to the human. Feelings and emotions not bits and bytes.
It will always be personal. That is TradeCraft.

Why do we need your help?
Through donated time, talent and dedication, our team has completed all photography. The results are more than we ever expected. The story is moving and incredibly timely. But in order to make it as perfect as we possibly can the post production process and getting the film into festivals becomes even more critical. That of course means money. Editing, color correction, sound design, music scoring and festival fees are all elements of creating a visually moving and fully realized film. When you give, you become a collaborator in what we believe is an important cinematic effort. You become as irreplaceable as any of us because if it weren't for you it wouldn't happen!
No contribution is too small! We understand. And if you aren't able to give financial support please share our story on social media and tell your friends. We are so grateful for your time and interest. Thank You!
