Synopsis
Tough guy Simon Maxwell (Clay Kraski) uses his military training and a variety of interrogation techniques to make a living State-side. When he is hired to find the missing niece of the local mob boss (Dick Mays), the tool is to torture a teacher (Troy Halverson). The tables turn, however, when Simon learns that the same cold-blooded terrorist (Santos d.l. Rosa) who captured and tortured him and his partner in Iraq is now loose in America. Now, with the lives of his family hanging in the balance, Simon and his partner must enlist an Israeli Mossad agent (Hayley Polak) and the District Attorney (TBD) to go head-to-head with the deadliest terrorist there is: one who has nothing to lose.
Description
I got cast to play a piano teacher who kills and gets killed in some 17 pages that were filmed in 2013. The 9-page homicide scene, on it's own, could probably could be cut into a nice stand-alone short. Such a short might be used to support the marketing of the full feature production.
While I'm not exactly a good guy in this drama, for once I will be on the receiving end of the gruesome violence, including a long interrogation scene that was a real workout of my acting chops (think Omar Metwally in Rendition or Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man). There's a taste of that in that trailer and teaser.
