Is Jane dreaming or is she awake?
Welcome To Detroit is a new experimental film that will explore the questions surrounding dreams and the edge of dark reality.
Set in the beautiful and mysterious National Forestry of Oregon and inside the cold, white walls of the Oregon State Mental Hospital, Welcome To Detroit is a film more of unknown delivery and suspense rather than graphically visual violence. Not knowing what dark things are waiting around each corner and questioning if those visions are even real will translate the cold blue breathe and high amber flames of W2D.
Enter Jane... a young female driven by fear, hatred and an innocence that haunts her and all who cross her path. Yet something about her is so intoxicating, so primal and so endearing that her uncanny ability to befriend anyone she meets in undeniable.
As the story unfolds Jane cannot distinguish reality from nightmare. On October 13, 2006 Jane awakes in a mental hospital, her hands and feet strapped to a table surrounded by the whites walls of question. Jane is convinced she has recently been abducted and psychologically abused by what seems to be the ultimate madman. She soon befriends a cast of characters employed by the Oregon State Hospital building a vengeful alliance from tales of her horrific experience in the hands of her captor. After counseling and rehabilitation Jane soon returns to the place where her worst fears and nightmares came true...Detroit, Oregon. Upon returning to face those fears and find out what continues to plague her, Jane begins to unravel a twisted tale of lies, paranoia, vigilanteism and pure dementia.
Featuring an ensemble cast of misfits, mental patients, performance artists and those who take the law into their own hands, Welcome To Detroit is already being labeled as Reservoir Dogs meets Girl Interrupted meets The Blair Witch Project. A "...true Alfred Hitchcock and David Fincher-esque concept with mind-altering gifts and gags!"
W2D will be filmed entirely as an artistic and raw-woven tale with enough cinematography and editing tricks to make Requiem For A Dream look like a Girl Scout’s project. The film will also be a test of structure through creative conceptualizing versus big-budget pockets and fabrication.
When asked "why?", mrBlack, Producer of W2D simply replies..."It’s not the size of the project, it’s how you use it! Anything can be done on a shoestring budget and still take the audience on a completely eye-altering ride. The use of original character dialogue with a combination of honesty, great music and beautiful Oregon landscapes can become the best tools in hammering out a complete vision. Hollywood budgets are overrated. They may save time but the Hitchcock-style of film making can still rival the current tides of Hollywood with imagination and long hours at the editing table. It’s safe to say that this movie will do just fine on making those who watch it hold the bathroom breaks and then some! You won’t want to miss even a second of this story"
Produced by mrBlack for BMBtv, LLC (The Chronicles Of Rock, Into The (i), Welcome To Detroit is currently in the early stages of script writing and post-production. Expect more news in the future months to come.
