BROKEN Enters Final Stages of Post-Production
Los Angeles, CA, May 6th, 2009

After two months of post-production work, Ontracc has locked picture on BROKEN and has submitted the project to expert colorist Frederik Bokkenheuser and sound designer Nick Dei Rossei for finishing touches.

BROKEN is a short film / music video hybrid based on the first act of TOPPING POINT, a feature-length film currently in development, and features a track by Trifonic, an electronic duo based in San Francisco.

TOPPING POINT follows American swimmer Adam Rand as he fights for his chance to compete in the Olympic Games. He’s only a few months out from fulfilling his dream when a sudden disruption in the supply of Mid East oil sends the US economy into a second Great Depression. Food shortages and a lack of electricity make training nearly impossible, and rising tensions between the West and East threaten to preempt the Games with a massive World War. Fearing the consequences any conflict could bring to his home and family, a Middle Eastern oil billionaire, Ansari, decides to funnel his money into keeping the Games on schedule and, under the guise of another company, sponsors Adam’s Olympic efforts. Ansari hopes that Adam’s story will inspire a nation to rise from its economic setback and come back stronger‚ as long as the source of Adam’s funding is kept secret.

Filming for BROKEN took place in late February/early March at locations in and around The Woodlands, Texas. To make the film more authentic for the swimming community, the cast was comprised exclusively of competitive swimmers, including Jack Kubacki (lead), Andrew Brewer, Cody Chason, Bryan Stahl, and former Olympian Gil Stovall. The film also features Caitlin Kinney, a professional dancer.

BROKEN is slated for a web-based release at select websites, negotiations pending. BROKEN will also be available for purchase as a DVD from Ontracc’s website. For more information on BROKEN, please contact Ontracc (assistant@ontracc.com).
