The Cabin
Written by Kaelen Green and Keir McPherson
Produced by May Joan Liu
In pre-production. |

Watch the Trailer |
The Company is the producer and distributor for this high energy horror film about five beautiful university students who decide to spend a “girls only” weekend at a remote picturesque rustic cabin only to learn that there is an evil entity lurking in the Cabin that wants them to stay forever and does not intend for them to leave alive.
Synopsis:
The ad simply read; “The perfect place. Rustic 19th century log cabin with luxurious 21st century amenities. Historic location. Details upon request.” Josie knew right away that this was, as the ad read, the perfect place for the Delta Phi Sister annual study week retreat. A bit unsettling that the ad had mysteriously popped up in the Craig’s List ‘Vacation wanted’ section at the very moment Josie was ready to close the already thoroughly perused daily listings.
The friends decide to make it a ‘girls only’ getaway, and after some not so gentle persuading of their somewhat promiscuous friend Heather, they all agree and catch a ferry to New Haven Island off the coast of Maine. Unbeknownst to the group, Heather secretly informs her boyfriend and his Omega friends of the location of the remote cabin.
On the ferry ride over, the girls meet a mysterious and slightly creepy old man who gives them a ‘token of protection’ against what he eerily refers to as ‘The Haunting’. He informs the girls that nearly two hundred years ago, an evil coven of witches were burned at the stake by the priests of the Christian church. Their bones were ferried over to New Haven Island and entrusted to a ‘Keeper’ who built a sanctified burial ground for the bones of the burnt witches and swore an oath of eternal secrecy and protection of the bones to the church. The cabin has, over the centuries, been believed to be the eternal battleground for a mutual and unholy vendetta between the witches and the Christian priests. Undaunted and skeptical, the girls decide to press on, determined that the old guy was more than just a little insane and that the idea of some clash of the spirits is just a little too far fetched. The “girls only” weekend is shortly crashed by the arrival of the Alpha Omega boys. Amidst the steam of the hot tub truth or dare sessions, strip shooter games and secret midnight ‘girl swapping’, the group discovers a Ouija board amongst the board games left in the cabin and enter themselves into a dangerous game of black magic, revenge and blood sacrifice.

Written by Kaelen Green, Keir McPherson and May Joan Liu
Produced by May Joan Liu
In pre-production. |
The Company is the producer and distributor for this high concept action drama that deals with a CIA operative who is called upon to work with an infamous international arms dealer that he has been tracking for years, in an effort to rescue this daughter from an ultra-radical terrorist group who are demanding to be given the secret plans for a biological weapon of mass distribution in exchange for her freedom.
Synopsis:
When Sabella Phoenix Zahra, the only daughter of infamous, international arms dealer Asim-Abdul Zahra is kidnapped by an ultra-radical terrorist group known as Black Fist, he realizes he has only two choices; give the terrorists the secret plans for a biological weapon of mass destruction that they plan to unleash on the United States and Britain or try and enlist the help of CIA agent Arlen Atkinson, the very man who’s been trying to bring him to justice for a decade.
Arlen is woken in the middle of the night by a phone call from Asim, who informs him of the situation, suggesting the two work together in an effort to rescue his daughter while at the same time, eliminating a very real threat to the safety of the United States. Arlen is torn between his desire to bring down this dangerous arms dealer and his sworn duty to faithfully protect the sovereignty of his country from a potentially catastrophic biological attack. Choosing the lesser of two evils, Arlen contacts longtime friend, Captain Cole Herrick, commander of the ultra-secret anti-terrorism group known as The Nine.
Captain Herrick begins assembling his group of nine operatives from their various assignments around the world and begins the planning and training operations for a covert mission into the heavily fortified Indonesian jungle where Black Fist makes it’s headquarters. Having mixed feelings about his team being used to help an arms dealer who’s long been supplying the very weapons responsible for killing thousands world wide, including some of his own operatives, he informs his team that after the rescue of the girl and the disposal of Black Fist, they will bring Asim to justice.
The team penetrates the heavily guarded jungle fortress with very little resistance and is able to successfully retrieve Sabella quite easily… maybe a little too easily. On the way out, however, the team seems to be getting ambushed at every turn and it begins to become more and more apparent that there is a mole among The Nine working for Black Fist. While deep inside enemy territory and Black Fist aware of their every move, Captain Herrick and The Nine must use every ounce of their training and instinct to get themselves and Sabella out alive. Rick and The Nine must use every ounce of their training and instinct to get themselves and Sabella out alive.
