SILENT FEAR our latest feature film to go into development

When you can’t hear…death comes silently.

That’s the tagline for SILENT FEAR, a unique and chilling New Zealand thriller screenplay penned by James and myself, and now in development as a Film Shock Productions-Morcan Motion Pictures production.

Inspired by a true story, it’s set in a university for the deaf in Auckland.

Here’s the logline:

Detective Valerie Crowther is assigned to investigate the murder of a student at Auckland’s Wandsworth University, an international institution for the deaf. Her investigation coincides with a student contracting a deadly flu virus, which results in the university being sealed off from the outside world. When more deaf students are murdered, it’s clearly the work of a serial killer. The stakes rise when Valerie becomes the killer’s next target and the deadly virus claims more lives.

SILENT FEAR will be directed by rising Auckland filmmaker Amanda Phillips, whose debut feature film, DESIRED, premiered at Cannes in 2011.

It’s our first film in the intended 3D SILENT FEAR franchise. We are seeking finance and distribution for this production now.
