Twist finishes principle photography

“Twist,” a new short film written by John Portanova & Jeremy Berg, has wrapped principle photography.

“Twist” is the story of a young, amateur boxer who takes it upon himself to track down his trainer’s daughter, who’s gone missing. In the process, he gets pulled down into a web of dark machinations that he isn’t prepared for. It attempts to fuse elements of noir and mystery into the fabric of the Northwest settings and culture.

“Twist” is an attempt to test the waters with a new character and story, based off of ideas by Jeremy Berg, D’Angelo Midili, John Portanova and all the members of 47 North Productions. A feature length script is in the works, to be completed in the later months of this year. Stay tuned for more information on “Twist,” when it will be completed and where you can see it to get a taste of the great things we have in store for you with the feature.
