0 Ratings / 0 Comments
An independent short film, entitled
"PROTOCOL 47", made by local student filmmakers will be presented Thursday, March 18, 2010 at the Studio Movie Grill- Lewisville, 1600 S. Stemmons Freeway (at Corporate Drive) Lewisville, Texas 75067. The film will be shown at two different screening times one at 6:30 PM and another at 8:30 PM. The film is produced by the MediaTech Institute-Dallas Campus in Las Colinas.
"PROTOCOL 47" is an intense, character driven drama starring Stephanie Rhodes of "Friday the 13th" (2009) and directed by Russian born Valentina Vladi. In addition to "PROTOCOL 47", a companion behind-the-scenes documentary film about the making of "PROTOCOL 47" will also be shown. There will be a filmmaker Q & A providing a unique opportunity for other aspiring filmmakers or screenwriters to receive inside perspectives.
In "PROTOCOL 47" a secret nuclear research facility is testing a new power source when an accident happens. A new type of radiation is created that alters the researchers into a myriad of things. Some go mad and attack others, some become depressed and kill themselves, but others make a startling change. It is up to those in a distant control facility to decide whether the researchers live or whether they invoke the dreaded "PROTOCOL 47". PARENTAL ADVISORY: FILM CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE, LIGHT GORE and VIOLENCE.
"For PROTOCOL 47 I wanted to create a new point of view in science fiction that fused action and dramatic elements with a character driven story. The characters were to be real people faced with a grim and incredible situation and I wanted to show how they each dealt with the situation, some heroically, some with fear and violence. In the end I want the audience to think 'what would I have done'? states Director, Valentina Vladi of Denton.
The companion behind-the-scenes film is an amusing look at the chaotic process in which a narrative entertainment student film comes together, their challenges and triumphs with insight into the fascinating film industry. “The film is in a totally Hollywood style with real schedules, intricate, realistic in-studio sets with professional actors. The seriousness and intensity of moviemaking professionalism and creativity is definitely evident”, states Keith Randal Duncan, Executive Producer and Instructor.
The makers of "PROTOCOL 47" plan to extend the short film into a full-length feature. The film’s short version will be promoted in festivals in order to gain notoriety and be put before industry as well as potential distributors.
