Collective Development's production Locked in a Room recently completed shooting with help from At Risk Entertainment. The film hosts an assortment of genre favourites including Carlucci Weyant (Karma), Rae'Ven Larrymore Kelly (The Preacher’s Kid), Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco), Dean Teaster (Dean Teaster’s Ghost Town), and DJ Perry (An Ordinary Killer). Distribution has not been confirmed yet, but expect this film to be available in the fourth quarter of 2010 (a prediction).
If you are not familiar with the story, Locked in a Room starts with three teenagers locked in "three separate rooms" (28Dla). Sounds simple enough, except events get mysterious and deadly when an anonymous male voice demands they escape, but can they? These dressed down one or two set constructions have been popular e.g. Nine Dead because of their reliance on characterizations and writing rather than complex set design and multiple locations. Further info' below.

Crackula's title sounds like the experience some people have downtown in a major city where the homeless try to suck you dry of all your loose change, but Crackula is not a film about supporting drug habits. Crackula is about three college freshmen girls and the occult. These three girls get involved in a psychic cult, where things are not as they seem. Inside the cult is "a web of death" (Conventry). The film is being produced by At Risk Entertainment, a Michigan based production company, and the first cover art is above. The CEO of At Risk Entertainment adds one last comment on the title of the film here: "neither the title or the film has anything to do with drugs, crack, crackheads, etc." (Conventry).

This year will see the release of a film called Crackula. It's nothing to do with what it might sound like, but I bet the title has grabbed your attention.
It's written and directed by Larry Simmons, who was among top 250 in Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Project Greenlight, the American TV contest for up-and-coming filmmakers, in 2004.
Simmons is CEO of Detroit-based production company At Risk Entertainment, which is releasing the bizarrely-named Crackula sometime this year.
Larry told me: "Crackula is a story about three college freshmen - all girls - who get involved in the world of psychic readings. That connection becomes deadly when it's revealed that the psychic is part of a cult.
"Soon, one girl disappears and her friends fear the worst. Inside the world of the psychic, her brother and another man create a web of death. The leader of the cult is a bad-ass black man in a suit.
