Description:

Casting call for 'Thrilla' short film. In need of cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: Logline One wrong turn could be her last when Jasmine finds herself hunted through the city night streets by a driverless car with a deadly agenda, where the only rule of the road is survival. "Thrilla" unique story can be characterized as "Christine" in the hood. There is no romantic relationship between person and vehicle or codependency as was demonstrated by John Carpenter's "Christine". Director plans to project fear, intimidation, uncertainty and peril through the eyes of the victim and the windshield of the predator. Whether its disappearing into ominous shadows or canvassing narrow, dodgy alleys, he will convey the original story by avoiding the common tropes of a damsel in distress and cut the low hanging fruit of storytelling so it can be tossed into the trash.
