Screen Anarchy has been asked to present to you the teaser poster for an upcoming thriller from Australia called Subject. It is a nifty piece of teaser work. We like it.
Reading through the accompanying press release we read that Subject was at first presented to be a short film. Whether the short form was just part of a larger idea or not it does not say, but the production company saw the potential to make Subject a feature length film so they moved right into it.
Thematically, Subject appears to fall in line with writer Vincent Befi's first film he wrote, Intervention, about a woman with no memory becoming the subject of sinister psychological experiments. Someone has a mad science fetish.
Sign on The Leftovers' Stephen Phillips and you have yourself a deal. The film's announcement follows the nifty teaser poster.
SUBJECT, written by Los Angeles native Vincent Befi, will be the next film from award-winning Australian filmmaker Tristan Barr.Barr and David Gim will produce SUBJECT under their Continuance Pictures label.The complex, frightening story of a prison inmate chosen to participate in a secretive government study, SUBJECT was originally submitted to Continuance Pictures for a short film initiative they were running called ‘Continue’. Producers Barr and Gim saw something even greater than a short within the high-concept screenplay and approached Befi about a feature version.Australian actor Stephen Phillips (TV’s “The Leftovers”, “Winners & Losers”) will headline the film, with Gabriel Seow, Cecilia Low and Barr co-starring.“Stephen is the perfect fit. He’s exceedingly talented and yet to really break out, which is what you want in actors for a found footage project like this,” says Barr.SUBJECT will be shot in Melbourne, Australia later this year and is expected for a 2020 release date.Continuance Pictures is a leading film production company based in Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia. Continuance strives to support emerging filmmakers in their pursuit of innovative, creative and humbly bold films that matter.
