Tag Line

A father's guilt, a mother grief, a family's tragedy.

Log Line

Since the death of their child, Griz and Regan have become estranged. Griz is growing suspicious of Regan’s way of grieving—venturing outside the matrimonial bond. Riddled with his own guilt, Griz is propelled to act, only to be ensnared in a scheme far worse than he could have imagined.

Talents

Frederic Colier (Writer/Director) is a graduate of the Digital Film Academy, NY, and the winner of the Best Short Film Award (Nov 2003) for, Of Wanderlust, his first project. His second film, Desert Weeds is in post-production (with the support of D.F.A.) and his third, Hell Bent, will start shooting in June. Over the years, Frederic has written and directed a dozen plays, notably Barbed-Wire Hearts, Heartbreak Tango; two novels, Barabane! Barabane!; The Bosphorus Hug; and a collection of short stories, Cristianos y Moros. He is the author of Playground for Talking Heads (Luminous Press, release Nov 04).

Armand Anthony (Lead, Griz) is a graduate of the American Conservatory Theatre. He has appeared both as a principal or support in eight previous independent shorts and feature films, Twisted, Ghosts Stories, Docs and Robbers, and Hunting Grounds, to name a few, as well as about ten plays, A Street Car Named Desire, Angels in America part I & II, in New York and Regional Theaters around the country.

Noelle Holly (Lead, Regan) last appeared as Katherine in Billy's Backbone, written and directed by Tom Small, currently touring the Indie film festival circuit. She has also appeared as the lead female in several short independent film projects. In theatre, Noelle has also substantial credits in New York Off-Off Broadway and Regional Theater scenes around the country.

Karibi Fubara’s paasion (Jake Jarris) is to tell the story that makes us all human, whether in the role of The Son, in Noble Laureate, Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author, or as a recurring (under-five) role on the ABC daytime soap “One Life to Live.” Recently, Karibi portrayed the Challenger in hip-hop legend, Guru’s newest video “Rite where u stand.” His latest project, Of Wanderlust, marks his film debut. He plays a photographer caught in the psychotic, murderous web of a deranged couple.

Mike Williams (Alex) is a graduate of the Actors Studio, MFA program at the New School in NYC. Before moving to the screen, he appeared in Off Broadway and Regional Theater productions. Over the last two years, he has appeared as supporting and leading roles in three other independent film projects, Running Deep (feature film), To Love, and Of Wanderlust. He has just finished shooting Desert Weeds, which is his third project with Frederic Colier. Mike appreciates the work and looks forward to future projects with Frederic.

Eric Giovon (D.P.) is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts. He has made no less than ten shorts films, In the End; In the Blink of an Eye; Johnny Moment in 35mm, 16mm, and Digital Video. Eric is also a photographer in his spare time.
