Exclusive: Downstream Trailer Premieres

Posted by dominie in Films, News on January 12th, 2009

The teaser trailer is now available for Downstream, a post-apocalyptic story in the vein of Mad Max/The Road Warrior. Directed by Simone Bartesaghi and produced by FM’s own Philip Kim, Downstream is set in a frighteningly familiar near-future where oil supplies have been depleted, marauders roam free, money is no longer of value, and women (what’s left of them) are traded for food and “juice.”

Announcements about the film were first made in June. Production of Downstream wrapped in April and the film has just completed its final sound mixing by Emmy Award Winner Walter New and acclaimed music composer Tree Adams, who scored the music for TV’s Californication and many more shows.

Long Synopsis: Wes Keller is a young man living in a world where oil has collapsed, the food supply has been wiped out,and cancer rates for women have skyrocketed, depleting the female population.

In a barbaric environment where bio fuel, batteries, bullets and people are currency and marauders roam free, Wes tries to escape to a mthical world run on cold fusion “Plutopia,” a place that many only exist in the mind.

The Bill is Due. Downstream is a view of the not so distant future. We follow a young man (everyone’s son) as he pays the price for society’s decadence.
