Grave Situations

The biggest project to date, Grave Situations, is a feature length digital film that is being submitted to festivals around the world and is aimed at being pitched for a series next fall. The script is an original idea and can stand alone for the festivals to generate buzz.

It is a film that combines several genres including thriller, suspense, and horror all the while being a true character drama. What it boils down to is a cross between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and CSI. It has been rumored by some to be called CSI: Transylvania. The title of the series will, at this point in time, be called Grave Situations. It follows the story of a young woman with the power to raise the dead who, with her expertise in demons and weapons, helps the police with paranormal crime scenes. The first film (or episode) is Grave Situations. When young boys are found murdered with ritualistic markings found carved in their flesh, the necromancer's fears are realized when it leads to a local church catering to vampire seekers.
