AirPick Pictures and Tom Paton Film are proud to announce the start of
production of their forthcoming movie BLACK SITE, a supernatural action best
described as HP Lovecraft meets The Raid, starring Mike Beckingham (brother of Simon Pegg), and directed by Tom Paton ( Redwood, Pandorica).
BLACK SITE is the story of Ren Reid, orphaned as a child when a member of
an ancient race known as The Elder Gods killed her parents. Twenty Years
have passed and a fractured Ren now works for Artemis, an organization
set up to contain and then deport these entities back to where they came
from. When the Elder God responsible for Ren’s childhood tragedy is caught and brought to The Black Site for deportation, Ren must partner with an unlikely ally as the last line of defense against a wave of worshippers hell bent on releasing their deity back into the world. With the facility on lockdown and the enemy closing in, Ren has just hours to avenge her parents and prove once and for all that she is worthy of wearing the Artemis uniform.
Mike Beckingham stars in the movie, as a follow-up to his first collaboration with
Tom Paton, REDWOOD (set for a major release later this year}. Early reactions to that movie have been beyond positive, setting the table for this larger, more ambitious production to introduce audiences to the rich & detailed world
Paton has created in BLACK SITE. (An expansive, potential franchise starter
that spans a wealth of known mythology weaved in amongst something
unexpected}.
Critics say, “Paton’s debut features mark him as the genre name to watch.”
