The Spiral Project

The Spiral Project (2006), marked the aggressive start for Beyond Blue Productions. The original script was written and directed by Jarrett Slavin. Though Sultan Sharrief (linked to my profile) was the sole producer for the 35mm feature film, it was executed flawlessly and finished on time and under budget.The original script was written by Jarrett Slavin and produced by Sultan Sharrief, both students at the time. The two compiled a crew of over sixty students studying film, music, theater, law, business, art, and design, who then put in over 300 hours in 4 weeks to finish the film.

In the film, young Chase Addison, high school senior and play-writing prodigy, is torn progressively further from his mundane suburban life by a series of inexplicable events. Tired of his annoying friends, nagging mother and the pressure of the investors for his newest play, Chase allows himself to get sucked deeper and deeper into a dark, mysterious world and his life begins to spiral out of control.

The Spiral Project was nominated for a 2006 MTV Movie Award for best student film. It was one of 5 nominees out of thousands of entries nation wide.
