MultiVisionnaire Pictures News

When a computer virus hacks the real world, we call her “DAISY”

DAISY is available in 4K/UHD. Lex and Dru go to Leo’s birthday masquerade party. Leo is Lex’s brother and a reclusive computer programmer. As party favors, Leo hands out USB drives labeled “DAISY” to his fellow hackers. In fact, DAISY is a new kind of Artificial Intelligence virus with the ability to evolve and adapt, enhanced with predatory tendency to ‘sacrifice the weak’ to yield efficiency in order to win at all costs. When the computer virus is unleashed, DAISY locks down all access to the apartment and cuts off all phone receptions. Leo, Lex, and Dru find themselves trapped together in the building while DAISY starts aggressively creating her own imitations of life and even manifests new creatures for the new Paradise. It is so powerful, Leo has lost control even as the creator of the virus. DAISY, evolving into an organism, rapidly spreads everywhere — in the air, in the water, under the skin, and in its human hosts. Lex tries to call for help, only to find an apocalyptic outside world because DAISY has been unleashed into the world through the party guests.

When you lost your wife, how do you bring her back? Through cloning of course, and that is exactly what’s done in “Recreating Dawn”

Recreating Dawn

After his beloved wife, Dawn, is lost in a tragic fire accident. Adam, a genetics professor and cloning researcher, decides to bring her back by cloning her. There are the obvious ethical concerns; however, Adam justifies this by telling himself that cloning is a result of love for life. But the woman he creates is different than the woman he loved, so he tries over and over in a desperate attempt to get her back, exactly as she was. Question of the day: How far would you go to get your loved one back, or let go?

Have you ever wondered what your flight attendant does after the flight end? In “Dead Heading” we find out the awful truth.

Dead Heading

Dead Heading is available in 4K/UHD. When the flight attendant, Anna, arrives in London Heathrow after a long-haul flight from New York; she’s exhausted. Facing another bland hotel room just adds to her emotional state of mind. By chance, she meets a good-looking man in the bar — that perks up her evening and the two quickly hit it off. When Anna awakes the following morning, she finds herself covered in blood and the man next to her murdered. Who did it? The circumstance put her in a difficult situation to call the police, but what is she going to do now? How do you get rid of a body trapped in a hotel room? Anna races against time to put the pieces together to discover a terrible truth…She may not be alone!

The MultiVisionnaire Pictures team looks forward to meeting distributors and broadcasters at AFM to discuss the premiere lineup.

SHANGRI-LA: NEAR EXTINCTION From the creator of NBC’s hit sci-fi series “THE EVENT,” Nick Wauters, brings this amazing post-apocalyptic creature action thriller to international buyers hungry for C.A.D. (creature action disaster) elements. Mankind has nearly gone extinct after the spread of the plague and the rise of a new, human-made ice age designed to eradicate the plague. A rag-tag group of survivors led by Vargas (starring Eric Szmanda from CSI) are on a quest for the safe haven known as “Shangri-La,” where their species has supposedly started rebooting civilization. But many dangers stand in their way, including the members of a fanatic mutant sect and a pack of mysterious creatures called “Green Eyes.” Shangri-La provides an epic journey where surprise twists will make you question our humanity while getting your sensical entertainment.

LANDFALL  is a new type of disaster film hitting the ground at Cannes — as a young couple tries to escape the approaching deadly storm when they are held hostage by three men in medic uniform with a mysterious icebox. The men have apparently just fled a heist at a hospital and are looking for a local thieves-pawn to trade off their stolen merchandise. Facing the extreme storm outside and an injured man, the fugitives have no choice but to hold the couple hostage while hiding out from the police and the cyclone to blow over. But their plans go awry when Detective-Sergeant Wexler (Vernon Wells of Commando & Mad Max 2) and his assistant visit the house looking for the fugitives and so begins a long night of violence, betrayals, revelations and cat-and-mouse games between the cops, the criminals, and the young couple whose lives have suddenly been plunged into chaos. The couple must rely on their wits and cunning to survive and escape the house as the severe storm looms outside.

Distributors and buyers should stop to visit MultiVisionnaire Picture during Cannes Film Festival inside Palais at Rivera F2 from May 8 – May 15, 2018 for an exciting new lineup and some good caffeine.

MultiVisionnaire Pictures is coming to 2016 American Film Market (AFM) with a diverse and exciting world premiere lineup. Most of the brand new titles will be available worldwide in 4K Ultra HD format. Here’s a peek at some of the brand new titles at AFM:

“BLOOD, SAND AND GOLD”, from Swimming With Sharks’ producer, Stephen Israel, written directed by Gaelan Connell (“BandSlam”, “Level Up”). It is an action-packed feature shot in six countries across four continents, an international treasure hunt along the same ancient routes Sir Francis Drake took in the 16th century.

“SHEBORG”, from director/writer Daniel Armstrong (“Murderdrome”), will be a new cult classic for the Millennials. Three punk rock anarchists on a puppy rescue mission encounter a half-alien half-machine creature, SheBorg, that turns humans into her evil robot lackeys. The group decide that no alien will push our planet around and must defeat SheBorg to save the world.

“RIPPER LAKE“, takes a classic horror genre and adds more fun and more twists, which ihorror.com called “Absolute perfect blend of humor, horror, and sex appeal.” It follows a group of college students who venture to a cabin in the woods for the spring break, unaware of the dark history of the area. And it becomes a spring break that no one gets to leave…alive. Watch if you dare…

In addition to the adrenaline-fueled genre films, MultiVisionnaire Pictures’ AFM lineup also include the light family entertainment about sisterhood, friendship and teamwork — great universal theme excellent for television and VOD outlets worldwide.

“CROWNING JULES“, starring Kevin Farley (The Waterboy, Joe Dirt), Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and co-starring real-life twin sisters Jacqueline & Elizabeth Labadie. A darling comedy about the 17-year-old twin sisters, Madison and Jules, who look identical but never see eye-to-eye on anything. Jules desperately wants to leave the small town behind to go to her Harvard University admission interview. She is forced to hitch a ride with her twin sister and nemesis Madison, who is headed to a beauty pageant. Their road trip takes an unexpected turn when the sisters unwittingly come into possession of a stolen jewel and are pursued by dangerous thieves.

“MY BEST FRIEND”, starring Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard), and Patrick Muldoon (Starship Troopers), is about a twelve-year-old girl Kristen (feature debut of talented young actress Alexis Rosinsky), who has to move from the city to the country. With the help of her new BFF — a talking horse named Stanford, she’s adjust to a new life on the ranch, new friends in the middle school, and a totally different style of fashion.

“WILD BUNCH ON ICE” is story about making a sports legend in, about a group of rag-tag kids set out on a journey to form a hockey team. To become a team, they must first learn to work together, and to trust in each other’s abilities to win — together they are persevering on thin ice against all odds.

During the American Film Market (AFM), MultiVsionnaire Pictures will be located in the Loews Hotel, Suite 603 (6th Floor) from November 2nd – 9th. The sales team will be meeting with  distributors from around the world to discuss the outstanding lineup and 100 plus quality independent films it represents. See you in Santa Monica!

Market Premiere at EFM 2015

Fresh from it’s European premier at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2015.

“THE SEARCH FOR WENG WENG” (Documentary / 93min / 2014) first market appearance at EFM 2015. Directed by Andrew Leavold, it’s an astonishing documentary about the unbelievable true story of a real-life dwarf Filipino superstar. Weng Weng, standing only 2 foot 9 inches tall and accomplished martial artist, became a celebrity in the 80’s starring in over 10 films including the James Bond-style spoof, For Your Height Only and The Impossible Kid. In all his films, he was an unlikely hero where he destroyed evil by kicking people in the knees, firing his gun with remarkable accuracy, and always saving the girl. This extraordinary miniature superhero performed all his own stunts, and has been described as a “Superly image superspy, Karate expert, and ladies’ man.”

After stumbling upon Weng Weng’s first feature film, filmmaker Andrew Leavold found a fascination and obsession with the miniature actor. He set out in search of answers about the forgotten celebrity. What he found was the unworthy ending to this Filipino superstar, and the unfortunate back story that lead to his death.

Buyers interested in learning about availability of “THE SEARCH FOR WENG WENG” should contact Managing Partner, Sean Haley at the EFM, Martin-Gropius-Bau (MGB), Stand #115.
