Dead Drop

Sean Burke, deep cover MI6, has cunningly maneuvered himself to be in front of FBI agents Richardson and Kole. He weaves a story of international intrigue, which follows a toxic liquid secured in Korea, ‘tested’ in Africa and bound for sale and distribution in LA. Sean, on a quest to discover the identity of the terrorist mastermind who is about to unleash the poison on LA, zeroes in on an unlikely suspect: a high-level FBI agent.

Short Film: 20:44

Starring: Brian McNamara, Basil Hoffman, John Cothran, Nick Heaney

Written, Produced and Directed by: Kathi Carey as a Proof of Concept for the feature: Dead Drop

It only screened 3 times: at a "test" screening at the Chinese theatre in Hollywood (for press, friends and family), at WorldFest in Houston and at Cannes. Here are the reviews:

Hola! from WorldFest ~ Dear Kathi...The same exact email goes for DEAD DROP also (you're winning a Remi Award)... it is in! Just found out, are you trying to be the first female Spielberg? -- Hunter Todd, Festival Director

Brian McNamara as an FBI director is more presidential than Aaron Eckhart was in OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN.

Nick Liam Heaney is the next James Bond infused with a little Bruce Willis and Pierce Brosnan. He has all the makings of a suave sophisticated action star.

Superb camera work on the motorcycle road work. Great reflective imagery in the helmet visor. ( I worked Second Unit for a number of years on many productions, so action and stunts are something I always look for)

David Raiklin's score is fantastic. A blend of techno-Bondish that creates a sound and feel all its own.

I really want to see this short be turned into a feature with some more money behind it to up the production values and quality of "extras"....

Nick Liam Heaney is the next JAMES BOND!

Fast-paced intrigue and espionage that leaves you wanting more!
