Exclusive: Your First Look At Canadian Sci-Fi Flick DEFECTIVE

Canadian writer/director Reese Eveneshen is just about wrapped on principal photography on his new film entitled DEFECTIVE. The film takes place in the near future where Rhett Murphy (Colin Paradine) and his estranged sister Jean (Raven Cousens) are forced to flee from a militant police state after witnessing the dark secrets of a nefarious corporation.

 

Reese has broke new ground since his 2010 post-apocalyptic zombie film Dead Genesis, and has teamed up with producers Peter Szabo of Possibility Films and Isaac-Fisher who previously produced the shell shocking documentary, Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Issac also serves as cinematographer on this exciting run and hide action thriller.

 

Synopsis:

 

Set sometime in the near future...a new and tenacious corporation, the S.E.A., has implemented North America’s first and only police state. Uniformed, anonymous Preservers of Peace investigate, judge, and sentence people for even the smallest of crimes. Rhett Murphy, a disillusioned, middle-aged man, witnesses first-hand the state’s newest law-enforcement mandate, which decrees citizens as “Defective.” The punishment? Instant public execution at the hands of ruthless enforcers. Finding himself in a precarious life-or-death situation, Rhett decides to flee across state borders to escape the tyranny. After a surprise visit from Jean, his estranged sister, Rhett is forced to flee with a reluctant Jean in tow. With the state in close pursuit, Rhett and Jean are caught between an underground network of revolutionaries—who work covertly to tear down the militant government before it can spread through the nation—and the growing power of a corporation that is subduing its people under its militaristic control.
