Muska Films Announces Kickstarter Campaign to Help Crowdfund and Produce First Feature Film - Kidnapping Inc.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Nov. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by actual events, Bruno Mourral's first feature film, Kidnapping Inc., uses cinema as a tool to address Haitian society and its proximity to systematic abduction. Set to begin production with the end of its Kickstarter campaign, the dark comedy is likened to "City of God" and "Pulp Fiction," using satire to confront the worst of contemporary Haiti where rape, kidnapping and murder are manifest in day-to-day life.
The film shadows delivery-kidnappers, Doc and Zoe, on a botched job and their challenge to fix the mess before their boss finds out. Tasked with delivering a senator's son worth a $300,000 ransom, their target is mistakenly killed in the midst of the pairs' usual bickering – jeopardizing their mission and the protagonists' lives.
Frantic for a solution, the duo stumbles upon Patrick and his nine-month pregnant wife, Laura, who are on their way to catch a flight out of Haiti. Unfortunately for the young couple, Patrick is an exact look-alike of the dead senator's son – making him a valuable commodity.
Scheming to swap the doppelganger, Doc and Zoe embark on the craziest kidnapping attempt of their lives.
Featuring a talented cast and crew including Jimmy Jean-Louis who is well known for the hit NBC TV series "Heroes", Kidnapping Inc. has the ability to create a gripping and compelling film.
This project is currently undergoing a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign which runs until December 11th. Crowdfunding contributions will come with a variety of rewards. Donors are encouraged to check out Kidnapping Inc. on the official website, Facebook and Twitter for all of the latest news on the project and funding.
Founded in 2007 by Bruno Mourral and Gaethan Chancy, Muska Films is an award-winning production company based in Haiti. Bruno has extensive experience in the field and has received 8 international awards for his work that includes documentaries, three short films and over 100 commercials.
