THE STORY

To some art is simply a painting, a sketch, perhaps a photograph… but to others, art is pain. That kind of art can’t be framed, it has to be captured in a different way. At least that’s what a villain would think. But does the villain ever really know they’re bad? Are the muscly heroes always as invincible as they seem? The truth is, it’s not always as black and white. The guy in the coffee shop could hold a dark secret. The girl stacking shelves may face a terrifying fate. The runner on the road could be jogging straight into the clutches of evil. Covered up by deceitful smiles, gritted teeth and crocodile tears, abuse can be so well hidden… that is the art of it.

We, as a company, want to create an iconic film, that fosters a truthful and raw depiction of abuse, abduction, sexual violence and other incredibly important topics. Our goal is that our film will start to spark a conversation amongst its viewers and most importantly, an understanding of the subjects raised. By combining the graphic nature of the horror genre with a passion for tackling these subjects with respect and dignity, we are certain it will make for a compelling and intense piece of cinema.

What We Need & What You Get

There is no one more committed or passionate about making thought-provoking and truthful cinema than us here at TAOA Productions- but unfortunately one cannot complete and release a film on passion and good-will alone!

Principle photography has been completed and we are deep into post production and just need a bit more funding to get the film ready to release to the film festivals, create and produce some promo blu rays and get this film released to the market.
