Short summary

An elderly, alcoholic conspiracy-theorist tries to enlist the aid of his estranged grand-daughter in proving his paranoid theories to be that of the truth.

After the original actress, playing Sophie Hargrove, left the project on an extremely short notice, Ashley Hallihan was able to step in virtually 5 days before starting principle production.

The "Restaurant/Back Alley" sequence is actually two separate locations cut together, made to look like one giant parking lot complex. The 1st location was shot on an apartment building roof and does not actually connect to the back-door exit of the restaurant where Andy is supposed to be exiting from.

Andy's "Drinking & Driving" sequence was shot in a non-moving car, against a green-screen backdrop. Andy's "Abduction Flashback/Hallucination" sequence was also shot against Green-screen. The screen/monitor was mounted to the Dolly so this sequence's shot could be properly displayed.

Andy's car was actually blown up twice.

Winner: 2010 New York International Independent Film & Video Festival, "Best International Short Thriller".

Official Selection at the 2011 Munoz Generations International Film Festival.
