LOS ANGELES, May 15– Sunshine Pictures Productions announced today it’s Next Major project “Violet”.

Synopsis : Violet is kidnapped and taken to an unknown location under the control of a mysterious criminal organization and made into a sex slave. As these sex traffickers begin to die off in a series of surreptitious and brutal murders, they must discover who is hunting them and why. Is their new slave more than she appears?

Dedicated to original and exciting action and story telling, Violet brings a fresh take on the familiar elements of drama, suspense and violence. The film’s martial arts action appeals to a worldwide audience, but because the story is centered around the abhorrent real-world practice of human trafficking, the film aims for a higher purpose than violence as a spectacle. We believe that Violet will help to shine a light on human trafficking and start a conversation around the issue that may lead to real victims getting the help that they desperately need.

Joining Violet is a team of incredible talent from around the globe. The team is comprised of veteran award winning editors, military & martial arts specialists and multiple feature film directors from the US and Canada .

Jennifer is on her way to being the first female director of a “bloody, violent action movie” without the use of special effects or stunt doubles. Jennifer’s specialty is producing and directing martial arts movies. She has more than 7 years of training in Karate, Muay Thai, MMA, Wushu sword dance, Krav Maga along with weapons such as guns, knife, machetes..

PASSAIC VALLEY TODAY

woodland park – Local resident Nicholas Juzdan is producing a short film, along with writer/director Joseph Robert Redl of Ridgewood. Both are students of Montclair State University (MSU). Juzdan, who is also a graduate of Passaic Valley High School Class of 2011, recently received a degree in entertainment marketing business from MSU. Redl is currently a junior, majoring in filmmaking.

“This is my second film,” said Juzdan. “It’s a short film and we’ve been putting our cash and crew together. We’ve been trying to raise money for various things in the budget for stuff like casting, props, sets, which we needed to build all those things ourselves.”

According to Juzdan, the film, named “Xs On Trees,” centers on a character named Duncan, who has just been dumped by his girlfriend. He begins to realize what life is really about and learns these lessons with the help of some new and not so new friends.

“It’s about the whole process of growing up and going through break-ups,” he explained. “Duncan has trouble moving forward after his last relations but with the help of an older guy named ‘Pop,’ he eventually does. Pop teaches Duncan about growing up and eventually moving forward.”

Juzdan added that the project is listed on Indiegogo.com for the production to raise funds to complete the short film.
