Is she another victim or is something more sinister afoot? Is the Professor behind the killings? What about Shaw\u2019s wife \u2013 she resides in a mental institution but is she the real killer? And then there are Ben\u2019s remaining friends. What secrets and grudges do they also hide? An action packed and terrifying climax sees Ben and Marcus unmasking the killer and their motivation in a surprise twist ending.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Needle - Your Fate is Chosen!\" href=\"http:\/\/needlemovie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1617\" title=\"Needle - Your Fate is Chosen!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Needle-Fate-Chosen-576.jpg\" alt=\"Needle - Your Fate is Chosen!\" width=\"576\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Needle-Fate-Chosen-576.jpg 576w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Needle-Fate-Chosen-576-256x62.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Needle-Fate-Chosen-576-560x136.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Cast Biographies:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Michael Dorman (Ben)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">New Zealand-born Michael Dorman scored his first big break in 2002 when he was cast in the Australian series The Secret Life of Us.

It is a fast paced murder-mystery for the youth market (males 15-30) with a framework that puts a terrific spin on the thriller genre.<br \/>\nThe material is dark with underlying, graphic horror elements. The characters are three-dimensional and as the emotional stakes are raised, we\u2019re on the edge of our seats, fearing what will happen next; when someone dies it has a profound effect because we care about them. The device in the story lends itself to spectacular special effects, stunts and action and Needle looks to success with fast track franchise potential built in. The film deals with the universal themes of estrangement, revenge and death and is set in the present day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Needle will be a slick, scary and fast-paced ride with great production values achieved through clever shooting. Ten years ago this would have been an impossible objective. Recent technological advances with digital cameras and VFX have made this achievable. We will be shooting Needle on the Red One camera combined with Zeiss master prime lenses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Needle will be shot with hand-held to give audiences a more visceral and real experience and to allow our Editor the ability to make quick, fast cuts to accelerate the action. Location and character set-up will be shot traditionally (dolly and track) and this will be blended seamlessly with the hand held. I intend to shoot a lot of close-up coverage of characters and their respective demise hand-held to shock audiences. Character deaths will be shot at 120 frames per second to allow us the ability to show slow or super fast motion as they meet their fates. The opening vision of the Supernatural machine, \u201cLa Mort De Vaudo\u201d will also be shot at 120FPS so we can accelerate or track slowly through the machine\u2019s inner workings in extreme close-up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The opening scene will let audiences know exactly what genre film they are about to watch and set up a number of puzzles that will engage audiences for the entire movie.<br \/>\nWe need to show high production values and to achieve that, after our opening scene, we will move quickly to one of the visual centrepieces of the story, Saint Georges College. I want to shoot this as wide as possible initially too, focusing on its beauty and Colonial design before cutting to the protagonist of the story, Ben. The University set-up scenes will be saturated with colour and shot wide to give the feeling of beauty, freedom and excitement which mirror the characters lives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Each character will have their own clear set-up with the goal of capturing their relative innocence and making audiences care about them. The protagonist of the<br \/>\nstory, Ben, will always have a subtle darker visual style about him (where possible I want shadows and dark colours to be accentuated when he is in shot), as if he has somehow brought darkness to his friends.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The overall colour palette of Needle will move from light, bright and saturated colours to subdued colours to eventually cool blue-gray tones as the story progresses to its climax.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">In summary, my overall style of shooting, the way a shot is blocked, composed and lit is always based on the emotional truth of the scene. My aim with the story of Needle is to create a film that is not only visually engaging, exciting and entertaining for Australian audiences, but for International audiences worldwide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Deidre Kitcher (Producer)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Deidre (Dee) Kitcher B.Bus CPA PFP, a Financial Accountant, has applied her business experience to help establish Filmscope Entertainment as a film production company with a focus on high concept, commercial films made specifically for international markets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Deidre Kitcher - Producer of Needle!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.filmscope.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1646\" title=\"Deidre Kitcher - Producer of Needle!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Deidre-Kitcher-Producer-of-Needle.jpg\" alt=\"Deidre Kitcher - Producer of Needle!\" width=\"345\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Deidre-Kitcher-Producer-of-Needle.jpg 465w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Deidre-Kitcher-Producer-of-Needle-256x189.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a>In 2007 Dee produced a short film, REPULSION, a $20K film making experiment that taught her the fundamentals of film production and budgeting.<br \/>\nIn 2008 Dee successfully produced her first feature film, CRUSH, on budget and on time.

Needle completed post production in June 2010.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Producers Statement:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">John is my partner in life and we set about making films that are fun and unique. I have been asked before on a few occasions, as a female, have I ever been drawn to making dramas and romantic comedies? The answer is no. One of my favorite films is \u201cThe Sixth Sense\u201d, where one of the greatest twists for a movie was revealed at the very conclusion of the film. The puzzle pieces, interwoven with finely balanced horror and family relationship issues, made this film highly enjoyable for me. It is this puzzle element, which engages the audience and challenges them to really think, that is our biggest attraction to film making.<br \/>\nI also believe that the cinema going experience should be one of enjoyment. We all work too hard during the week and have stresses in daily life, so why go and be tortured or bored by watching a film we don\u2019t enjoy. Films that temporarily take me out of my world and into another, particularly where I\u2019m engaged by the puzzle element \u2013 now that is fun!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">During the filming of Crush John and I discussed making the ultimate murder mystery \u2013 where the killer wasn\u2019t even in the same location as the victim. Something that would make Agatha Christie proud! This was the genesis of Needle. John enjoyed working with Anthony Egan on Crush so I set them the goal of creating a new horror mythology revolving around the concept of the ultimate murder mystery film. I think they did a fantastic job devising the story universe and back story of the machine (La Vaudou Mort) that uses supernatural voodoo to kill its victims.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">This concept could have been taken so much further in the film than what is shown in the final outcome. In the original script, John and Anthony had written in some spectacular kills but unfortunately our very limited budget prevented us from going that far. It\u2019s a sad moment for any writer\/director when the producer goes through the script with a big black pen crossing out sections because \u201cwe can\u2019t afford that\u201d. Needle has still turned out to be a fantastic film, don\u2019t get me wrong. But if we get the chance to do a sequel, my aim will be to raise a bigger budget and take the murder mystery and kill sequences as far as possible!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Other than the budgetary constraints, the whole process of making Needle was smooth and fun. We gave our executive producer a small role as a cop and enlisted many of his friends to do like wise. This created an enjoyable environment on set with many wise cracks and jokes going around.<br \/>\nAlthough I\u2019m clearly biased, I honestly believe that John is a very talented filmmaker who can achieve anything in the world of film. He was recognized as a gifted creative writer at school, but was encouraged by his parents to study business and marketing at University instead. A film fanatic he would watch hundreds and hundreds of films each year and at the age of 30 decided to start screenwriting at night. Ever since his life hasn\u2019t been the same. I have always encouraged his creativity along the way and he has carefully balanced his hard work with family life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Needle Crew Biographies:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Stephen F.
