For Immediate Release
DanFam Productions are proud to announce the opening of Survivor, an original action, mystery short interactive film starring Emma Richardson, John Robbins & Justin Hayward, directed by Dan Tonkin.
Survivor is the story of Tanya Hayes – the world’s very first US navy seal candidate awakening alone on a mysterious, deserted battlefield. Things quickly begin to escalate when she is confronted with a mysterious soldier. The closer he gets the weaker she begins to feel. With only her wits and commanding officer in her earpiece to guide her, the choice of which to trust falls entirely to the viewer, with several routes and endings to discover, Survivor becomes the first film to offer audiences a new immersive experience they have never encountered before.
Emma Richardson stars as Tanya Hayes, alongside John Robbins & Justin Hayward. Survivor’s concept was also strong enough to recruit a number of composers into its ranks including Michael O’Neill and went on to win at ‘LA Best Shorts’ with an award of recognition in their experimental category then onto a 6 page feature in ‘Digital Filmmaker Magazine’ and actor Justin Hayward went on to other TV work and feature films and adding another two projects with Dan Tonkin in the meantime. Survivor established something of a new idea of where movies could be headed that got noticed by several organisations including the BBC.
UK Film review said “Tonkin’s short film delivers a unique cinematic experience which is breathtakingly engaging, it reinvents what you think you know about film storytelling and delivers something truly special.”
To date Dan Tonkin went onto complete several more films with the reputation that followed him from Survivor, allowing him to produce his next film festival winning films; ‘Last Light’ and ‘Flawless’ & is now in the late stages of pre-production before his biggest indie; Jenna The Great, shooting this spring.
