Cracks In The Ice

Feature film: thriller.  Writer/Director: Fiona Ashe.

In 1999, Ryan Turner, a daring New York journalist, haunted by his failure to save a girl from rape and murder during the Rwandan genocide, returns to Africa – this time to war-torn Sierra Leone – in the hope of breaking a society-changing story to purge his guilt. He discovers the corrupt, megalomaniac President of neighboring Liberia is brutalizing Sierra Leone’s population and stealing blood diamonds to fund a major terror attack against the US. To silence Ryan permanently, the President lays a lethal trap by kidnapping his cameraman’s 10-year-old daughter. Ryan must choose between risking his life to save the girl or breaking the story to save his country.

Status: script completed.

 

Marypatcheen Must Die

A self-pitying Irishman blames his wretched life path on the author of a misery memoir that caused him to fail to qualify for university. Over the next three decades, he painstakingly builds a time machine to go back to 1936 and kill her before she writes the book.

Status: script completed.

Producer: Declan Cassidy.  Cast: Paddy C. Courtney, Charlie Kranz.
