Talent & Cinematic Aesthetic:
Acclaimed director Stephen Campanelli (The Mule, Indian Horse, Momentum) and cinematographer Yves Bélanger (Arrival, Dallas Buyers Club, Demolition) are attached, ensuring a hauntingly cinematic and immersive visual experience.

Creative Vision:
LACED is an intelligent, suspenseful psychological sci‑fi thriller exploring mind control’s impact on identity, ambition, and loyalty. It blends the visceral intensity of Flatliners with the surreal tones of Altered States. Filmed on location at Ministers Island (New Brunswick) and Montreal.

Unique Production Strengths:

• Unparalleled Locations: Ministers Island’s abandoned Edwardian mansion and McGill University.
• World-Class VFX: Territory Studio (Blade Runner 2049, No Time to Die).
• Funding Support: Telefilm Canada (20–49% of $5–8 M CAD) and Quebec/New Brunswick tax credits.

Market & Distribution:
Targets fans of *The X‑Files*, *Stranger Things*, and high‑concept sci‑fi. Early LOIs from Vortex Media, Raven Banner, and The Coven for streaming and theatrical release.

Why LACED Stands Out:
High‑concept narrative, award‑winning team, authentic locations & analog look, strong VFX, and investor‑friendly funding support.
