Movies You Made: “Interglobal Trading Fund”

For several months, I’ve been tagging a bunch of emails from filmmakers who have contacted me about their film projects, so I figured we should feature them this May. If you have a movie, either short-form or long, with which you were involved — writer, actor, director — please either email me or post details in comments. Happy to promote them on GITS.

Today we feature the short film Interglobal Trading Fund from filmmaker Anne Lower. Background from Anne:

Hi Scott:

I’d like to submit my short — which is a webseries pilot — InterGlobal Trading Fund.

I was contacted by Stage5TV and asked to come up with a concept. The genre was to be either SciFi or fantasy, must include a cliffhanger, and have the potential for game development.

I called my partner, Geoff Reeves, and we came up with the idea of the InterGlobal Trading Fund, a government agency that lives in the shadows. Corporations hire ITF to send hit men and women back in time, to assassinate targeted individuals, in order to achieve financial gain. XIII, their top operative, is the protagonist. Brought in through the foster system as a child, XIII was reprogrammed to become a company man… only he has a secret. A sliver of something — a dream from childhood — remains.

Called “Hollywood¹s hardest working filmmaker” by talk show host Casey Ryan, Anne Lower has written and directed for the stage and screen. She shot her first film at 14; now, her feature EDEN is slated for production in 2013. She blogs about her life in Hollywood at Princess Scribe, recently named “Screenwriting Web Site of the Week” by SCRIPT magazine, and when she¹s not playing in the great outdoors, writing tales or cooking up a storm, Anne can be found sleeping. Sometimes.

Thanks, Anne, and good luck with your filmmaking ventures.

Again if you have a film project you have been involved with and would like me to promote it on GITS, and I can embed it, email me or post details in comments.

May is Movies You Made month. Let’s celebrate your cinematic creativity!
