Prion
In development
Director: David Lumsden
Writer: Ronnie Mackintosh
Producer: Andy Maas
Concept Art: Anthony Devine/Jordan Grimmer
Synopsis:
When work on a new construction site in the city of Edinburgh unearths a previously undiscovered section of the entombed Old Town, work comes to a halt. The new find appears to be the work space of 17th Century Plague Doctors and of great historical significance. But beneath this space lies another, where plague victims were examined and dissected and in which mutated prions; infectious agents, have lain dormant for almost four centuries. As the debate continues as to what will be done with the site, the weight of the structure proves to be too much for the weakened ground and it collapses into the infected ground below, freeing a lethal virus...
Currently in development Prion is a feature film project, i was selected to go on 2013 EIFF talent lab as Director with the concept. I met a lot of industry professionals who gave me advice on getting the film made.
Prion was also selected for development at Rotterdam Film festival Myself and Producer attended to find out more about bringing the project to market. (while also having a few beers)
It's getting close, hopefully financing wont be too far away!
