BRUTAL
Fight Club meets the Twilight Zone in this mixed action/adventure/fight/martial arts film, starring Morgan Benoit (Forbidden Kingdom, 47 Ronin.) featuring fight sequences created by two of Hollywood's top stunt performers Colin Follenweider (Avatar; X-Men) and Chris Torres (Letters from Iwo Jima).
Brutal centers on Trevor (Morgan Benoit), who is abducted at the age of fifteen by an unseen alien presence. Forced into nearly two decades of no-holds-barred fights against other abductees, Trevor evolves from an innocent boy into a brutal fighting machine.
Derek, (Jeff Hatch) an ambulance chasing lawyer, is the latest lab-rat abductee forced to fight Trevor. As they exchange increasingly violent beatings over the course of weeks and months, the brutality of their existence ironically begins to reveal the true nature of their humanity.
With elements of the paranormal juxtaposed with the most violent fight scenes you will ever see on screen, BRUTAL explores the animal aspect of human nature and our propensity to commit unthinkable acts against each other. Yet, it is through this prism of brutality that our capacity to love proves victorious even in the worst of circumstances.

A Backstreet Boys' Musical starring KEVIN RICHARDSON, DIVA ZAPPA (daughter of musical genius Frank Zappa), BRIAN GASKILL of "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "All My Children" with Tarantino actress Daniele Watts.
This sexy vampire musical is swirling with troubled Vampires, hot dancing girls and boys, drug addled nymphettes, existential zombies. Gallons of blood are rounding out this French New Wave version of a Pulp Fiction meets Strictly Ballroom romp as Vampire BackStreet Boy (Kevin Richardson) is being hunted by a Zombie Zappa (Diva Zappa).
While mesmerized by the visuals and the music, we realize that this ingenious musical alludes to a subtle morality tale, illuminating the mindless predatory nature of humans - where more will never be enough.
Praised by the LA Times, Huffington Post, E!, MTV news and Perez Hilton, "The Bloody Indulgent" is undoubtedly taking its place next to Rocky Horror Picture Show
