The film was completed after a lengthy post-production in late 2018. The movie includes gunfights, footchases and long takes. As a consequence, for aspiring newcomer writer, director and co- producer Eric Garson, the film posed numerous production and logistic difficulties. Including his lead actor Rudolph Benade, breaking his ankle playing rugby midway through production, subsequently delaying principle photography.
Thankfully these challenges were overcome with a talented and dedicated crew including upcoming filmmakers Gabi Bilin (Producer), Rick Hanley and David Gregory (Cinematographers), Sophie Marchant and Krzysztof Rodzik (Sound Operators), Katie Linard (Colourist), Ivor McGurk (Composer), Becky Taylor (Make-Up), Rashpal Gurm (Poster Designer), Davor Pahljina (Trailer Editor) Dave New and Thomas Biddle (BTS Camera Operators) and Leon Silavant (stills.) Hopefully, their teamwork manifesting in an exciting action thriller.
In addition, Eric has two more short films called “Deep Under” starring Eilis Cahill and “Diva” featuring Laura Arbeláez. Both in the latter stages of post-production, coming out in early 2019.
