SLOW DOWN ATLANTA
TV PILOT. 22 Minutes. A Scary-Funny “Slacker Office Satire” Being Staged & Filmed for Mixed Distribution. Darkness emerges when a group of slack thirty-somethings start a paranormal services company for beer money.
The series title, Slow Down Atlanta, pokes fun at personal and southern ghosts, both literal and figurative, and how they slow our cultural progress. The themes of the six episodes range from internet gaming, marriage, strippers, immigrant culture, and modern racism, sexism, and homophobia. Formative years full of movie and comic book education, coupled with rampant ADHD characteristics, and a lack of any discernible skills, leave the slackers facing repeated issues in each episode. It’s a comedy, with substance.
THE SIGNAL
FEATURE FILM. A horror film told in three parts, from three perspectives, in which a mysterious transmission that turns people into killers invades every cell phone, radio, and television. The Signal is an independent psychological horror-comedy film written and directed by David Bruckner, Dan Bush, Jacob Gentry and produced by Alexander A. Motlagh—four filmmakers who have been collaborating since 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia. The movie was completed for the 2007 Sundance Film Festival on a budget of only $50,000 and shot over the course of 13 days.
