It’s a 15-minute film that tells the story of Braden Vasco, an enforcer for a drug gang. Arrested and accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he later seeks vengeance while piecing together the truth.

The story came together a few months ago between Chris and his co-partner Steve. Four days later Steve had finished the script. Pre-production began and crowdfunding is in full swing with their account on Indiegogo. Projected budget is $20,000.00.

Production is scheduled for November. They will be shooting in five locations in and around Vancouver. Kelsey Baran is also a co-producer on the project.

After the project is finished, it will premiere it at the Rio Theatre in March of 2016. From there, it will also be entered into Cannes, VIFF, TIFF and Sundance.
