SYNOPSIS

Jenna, Renee, Ian and Michael arrive at a lakeside cabin

owned by Ian's uncle Wade. Intending to enjoy a carefree

weekend, instead, three of them become locked in the

hot sauna. First they think its Michael playing jokes on

them, but soon realize that help is not coming and they

must find a way out before the heat kills them. As the

heat rises they are pushed to their physical and

psychological limits - staying alive is not easy any more.

Breaking a small window - may be the worst thing they

can do, because cool air will trick the thermostat to run

the heater full blast. They need to get out, but all they can

is wait

Wait for what, wait for who?!

How long could you wait in the heat up to 250 degree

Fahrenheit.

THE COMPANIES

In 2011 IMEDI TV formed IMEDI FILMS, a production

company conceived purely for the purpose of making

high quality, commercially viable, feature films. As part

of this venture, IMEDI FILMS have made a substantial

investment in production equipment and sound stage of

International standards.

SARKE STUDIO is one of the biggest, largest and

oldest production companies in the Caucasus region of

Georgia. Since 1998, SARKE STUDIO has been

specializing in TV commercial production. After having

over 800 TV commercials in the portfolio, SARKE

STUDIO has now become a production service

provider for domestic and international projects, for

both Commercials and Film.

SARKE STUDIO and IMEDI FILMS have partnered to

produce films together. The two corporations are a

match made in heaven. By joining the financial strength

of IMEDI FILMS and the production experience of

SARKE STUDIO, they have their goals set on making

high quality films, for US and International markets.

In 2011, they finished the first joint venture - 247°F. The

film was premiered during AFM in 2011 and garnered

much well deserved acclaim in the movie circles in the

US. It was immediately picked up by Anchor Bay to be

released during the much awaited Halloween season in

October 2012.

FILMS and SAKRE

STUDIO have

committed to a slate

of 3 new films.

The Casting (Filming June-July / to be screened

at AFM 2012)

When ten beautiful actresses show up for the

audition of a lifetime, they quickly realize this is no

ordinary casting call.

Trapped in an abandoned factory, they are pitted

against each other in a ruthless game of life and

death. All they know is what a female voice has told

them - she is one of them.

In a race against the clock they must decide who

they think she is, and the one they choose will die. If

they are right they go free; if they wrong they face

ever more brutal and deadly setups.

The ruthless quest for survival spins off as one death

follows another and only one question remains: Who

is the Voice? Is she really one of them? Or is this

whole ordeal as fake as the woman in the room?

The Salvia Experiment (Pre-production / to be

screened at AFM 2012)

In a remote lab, six young psychology students will

explore the effects of the most psychoactive plant

ever discovered: SALVIA DIVINORUM.

After prolonged exposure to "The Experiment", they

begin to slide into a fractured state of consciousness

where they can no longer differentiate reality from

fantasy, and as hallucinations take on real forms,

their lives spiral into a chaotic fight for survival.

DEAD MOUNTAIN (To be filmed in winter 2013)

During the winter of 1959, nine hikers venture out

into an isolated region of the Russian Ural

Mountains, led by their brazen leader Igor Dyatlov.

Encountering rough weather, Igor deviates the group

up a shorter trail on a mountain rumored by local

Indian legend to be cursed. When group members

start turning into corpses bearing inexplicable,

horrific injuries, the remaining hikers quickly believe

they have fallen victim to the mountain’s curse. Igor,

in accordance with the Soviet doctrine, does all he

can to disprove evil’s existence and search for a

logical explanation ignoring his friend’s pleas to

leave.

As the body count rises, and injuries become more

bizarre, Igor’s desire to disprove the curse quickly

turns into a futile obsession. As he slowly descends

into madness, the remaining hiker’s fears push them

to the limit, and eventually... to their graves.

This film serves as a testament to the the Dyatlov

Pass incident of February 1959. After much

investigation Soviet officials determined only that "a

compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths of

the nine hikers; this has remained one of Russia’s

most intriguing unsolved mysteries for over half a

century.
