CLOSETS [2010]
Post continues through January 2010

Just reading the script of OWIGI Films' next feature-length thriller has kept more than one cast member from catching her beauty sleep!
An email to OWIGI Films, from D. J. Friedlander, who is scheduled to portray the Entity in OWIGI Films' next work, The Closet, reads in part, “...it's the scariest damn script I’ve ever read! I went to bed and thought I’d read a few pages to get my mind around the character. I couldn’t stop until I finished the whole thing. And then I couldn’t even think about going to sleep. Now I can't wait to get to work on this project. You guys were right. It takes being scared s***-less to a new level. I can't wait for sunrise! Eeeek!”
Scheduled to start shooting in November 2009, The Closet will set the independent film industry on its ear. Outstanding production values, unusual musical score and quirky characters - each of whom could be the meat of a story told about them alone - will raise the bar for the paranormal, supernatural thriller genre. From now on, all scary films will be judged by the gooseflesh triumph that will be The Closet.
Based on actual events that took place only a few years ago, it weaves the enigmatic tale of Jonas Littleton…a good, but faulty man whose life had taken a sour detour – to a prison cell. After having admitted his guilt and serving his sentence, he’s being picked up outside the prison yard by his probably faithful wife for a long-awaited reunion. Unfortunately, in the following weeks, reality sets in when his felony record makes his repeated attempts to rejoin the workforce humbling and futile.
His most recent job interview results in his bending his elbow at a watering hole. Too much to drink and an errant suspicious pill causes our disappointed husband and father to seek advice from a soothsayer who runs a weird little shop a few doors down from the bar. Under the influence and under the gun, a deal is struck in the fortune teller's lair which proves to be “too good to be true”?
As if a beaded curtain has been parted, Jonas' life immediately turns around. Job offers. Money. Luxurious home and cars. Happiness. Family times. Until the bill is due. And who comes to collect? The most vile, hellish, repugnant demon who was ever vomited from --- well, another place and time. The Entity has all the tools to wreck all she sees. To ingest all that's good and discharge pure evil. Will Jonas have to pay the piper? A cold, grinning evil collects, with certainty - both his wife and son!
A broken man, Jonas Littleton divests himself of every remnant of wealth and possession. He uses the proceeds to follow his heart and soul's remaining task. His course is clear - he must track down the Entity and extract his revenge - or die trying. Now he runs Paranormal Investigations Incorporated to soothe his damaged soul and feed his obsession. He sees the Entity in every investigation in reality or maybe not. His sanity hinges on the pursuit.
Continuing his quest for revenge, he leads his investigation team from haunting to haunting, until one day he comes face to face with the Entity. How this final confrontation between a wounded-spirit human and the very essence of conniving, grinning evil plays out will knock your socks off! Twists and turns abound. You'll not believe your eyes.
Look for The Closet in summer 2010 and be ready to have your imagination and your deepest fears stretched to their very limits --- and maybe beyond.
