From deep in the heart of Texas, a little spark brings nightmares of Vice

(A mad trip though the darkness of the male ego)

Arlington, Texas – Little Spark Films is proud to announce the production of Vicemares, a dark comedy / thriller starring Nathan Gershon, Kristin Keith, Larissa Dali & Cory W. Ahre and directed by Joe Manco.

Vicemares is the story about sleazy, drug-addled lawyer, Sinclair Niedenthal played by Nathan Gershon; a man who is on the run from his impending divorce. Sinclair revisits an old vacation spot he and his late father would frequent in his youth. Only this time he brings along a hefty bag of “party favors” to help with the escape. After an intense physical altercation with the pizza delivery guy, Darby (who is played by the movies screenwriter Cory W. Ahre), Sinclair’s tailspin of an escape escalates into a drug-fueled battle of egos.

“The story explores the nature of really bad people. Where is the line between a person and a monster?”

                                                                                                                                                      -Cory W. Ahre

Nathan Gershon stars in this movie, as a follow-up to his work on Richard Linklater’s latest, Apollo 10½. “We’re a tiny little movie, trying to do something much bigger than us,” writer, Cory W. Ahre explains. He hopes the film offers people the opportunity to “empathize with a character they might ordinarily look past.” Work on “Vicemares,” which Nathan compares to Stephen King’s “Misery” meets “Fear and Loathing” and “American Psycho,” continues in production.

About Production Company

Little Spark Films is an independent film collective from the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex of north Texas. The team has grown over the years blazing a trail of short films, music videos and commercial ventures. They have been the heart of a many productions in Texas and most did not even know it. Vicemares will be the team’s very first feature film to be housed under their own name.

Vicemares was shot on location in the Sulfur Springs, Tarrant & La Verna areas of Texas. The movie is currently in post-production and is expected to begin screening at film festivals in 2022.

 

Short Summary

  • We are Little Spark Films and we have been shooting and releasing music videos, commercials and short films since 2013. We have also shot a few feature films for various filmmakers in the DFW area, Austin, San Antonio & Los Angeles. This will be OUR first feature film together as a collective.
  • Our movie is a total grass roots film. We have raised our entire budget independently without the help of any major studio or networks. We shot most the picture on various RED Digital Cinema Cameras at the end of 2020 and maintained a Covid safe set. The entire year has been spent putting the puzzle together.
  • We as a team feel like we have been climbing the mountain in an up hill battle to reach success. We have made the finish line in many 48 hour film races and have found homes for all of our previous projects when it comes to distribution. This feature film will launch us as a team to grow relationships with more distributors and continue on our chosen career path as artist and filmmakers. 

What We Need & What You Get

  • We are seeking funds to help us get over the VFX hump of post production. As you can see our movie is sort of like a mix between Cabin Fever & Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. We have some bad trips we need to get through before we can reach the finish line. These sequences are crucial to completing our film.
  • There are a bunch of great perks you could receive! Like posters, stickers, original art, posters, blu-rays and even some of our screen used Demon Sock Puppets that torment our lead character in the movie!
  • All funds will go towards the VFX portion of our feature. Remaining funds will help in VICEMARES film festival circuit!

The Impact

  • A life long dream to make a real film is nearly coming to fruition. This award winning team is making waves with their short film, The Torturer, staring Paul T. Taylor (Hellraiser: Judgment / SIN City) Their only regret is that it wasn't possible to turn it into a feature. So they took that motivation and channeled it towards making this! Their first feature film. We personally feel that the story it self will make the audience look at themselves and ask... "Am I a person like this?".
  • Little Spark is truly a name you can trust. As we have completed every project we have put our efforts towards and we have found a distributor for every project that has passed through our hands. There is a determination to finish what we begin and we are already planning for the next picture.
  • Currently there are some eyes on this movie. We are getting the nudge to hurry up and finish. But most credible distributors want nothing to do with an unfinished project. That's what makes this even more exciting. The whip is being cracked and we need the help to catch up. This is where you all come in...

Risks & Challenges

  • We have the crew. We have the equipment. We have the know how and experience. But there is a fog that keeps people from seeing Little Spark Films we feel at times. These past several years we all have focused on our craft as artist and together we have found that success may not be as far away as we may think. We are constantly challenged and bluffs are called, but this only makes us push harder.
  • Our plan is to finish the movie at any cost. The hard part is already done. With VFX & GREEN SCREEN work it just becomes a waiting game. But with patience comes greatness. We have never been more excited to show you something.
