This original story marries three different elements into one plot.
Alex Stokes (Andrew Roth) is a self-destructive, down-on-his-
luck investigator who takes cases wherever he can. When a mysterious man offers him a healthy sum to follow his beautiful wife Claire (Melantha Blackthorne)
, Alex can't resist. Her seemingly mundane day-to-day activities take a strange turn when she tries to kill herself.
After saving her, their chemistry proves too much to resist and they become romantically entangled. But the fun has just begun as her
demonic possessionsescalate and Alex's entire town gets sucked into a vortex (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex) of evil (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil). Can one lost soul get it together in time to save mankind?
The movie is a film noir (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Film_noir)
, where a self-destructive, down-and-out investigator takes on a case that may be more than he can handle. Incorporating standard elements like a beautiful woman, excessive drinking and subtle voiceover (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Voiceover)
, the piece is set up like a standard detective film.
DirectionGF Roberts has been shooting independent film (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Independent_
film) in New York City (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/New_York_
City) for years. His projects range from comedy to horror and film to music videos. Starting with short films shot on video (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Video) with his friends, Roberts discovered that he had a knack for telling stories with the camera. Years later, after scripting a feature film, which was produced, he joined the production team and never looked back. He began shooting film-based projects and after investing in equipment began his own production company. From there he learned the workings of the camera and after sufficient experience he hired himself out as a cinematographer (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Cinematographer)
, working on several films. He has also shot music videos (https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Music_videos)
and a spec television show. He recently completed “The Citizen Core”, which was an official selection in the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival and Sarah’s Demons, a horror short was an official selection in the 2008 Bare Bones International Film Festival (https://en.wikipedia.org/
