We are in pre-production for a feature-length psychological thriller that will be shooting in the Boston area over the last three weeks of September. The film will be directed by award-winning independent filmmaker Alex Karpovsky, whose last two features premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival (for more info, please visit www.alexkarpovsky.com). The film is co-written and produced by Garth Donovan, whose last award-winning feature ("Phillip The Fossil" www.phillipthefossil.com) premiered at the 2010 South by Southwest back in March.
A raw and terrifying depiction of contemporary isolation, this slow burning, atmospheric and character-driven story focuses on an alienated researcher in his early forties harboring an unreciprocated infatuation a younger technician who works with him at a Boston-area laboratory.
