Making of TORN on DIME

We've been making movies for about 15 years now and have worked in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany and even Macedonia before all returning to Australia. We've made some movies that lots of people have seen and made some movies that not so many people got to see.We run a production company called Instinct Entertainment (www.instinctentertainment.com.au) that is making a psychological thriller called Torn.This is what the movie is about;On an ordinary day in Los Angeles, two ordinary men have a random encounter. Daniel is a timid bookseller who struggles through the stress of everyday life. Steve is a successful real estate agent who has everything going his way â€“ a wife, a child, a mistress. It should be a harmless interaction â€“ one of billions that occurs just like it every day. But this time is different. In Steve, Daniel sees the symbol of all that is wrong in his life. Daniel starts to follow Steve and gradually finds his only release is the deliberate destruction of Steveâ€™s life. Steve is shocked. He has no idea what heâ€™s done. Steveâ€™s world collapses as he realizes that this unknown enemy will make him live out the remainder of his life as a frightened, hunted man. When Steveâ€™s private investigator disappears and the threat of violence looms closer, Steve knows he must defend those who are dear to him before they are taken from him.
