Moore Digital Studios has released the first trailer for their new psychological thriller “Audrey,” which has completed production. The film is directed by Nicholas J. Moore and written by Andrej Kukoljac.
“Audrey” follows the story of a horrific massacre that leaves the town’s wealthiest family dead, with only one survivor. With pressure mounting to solve the case before the news breaks, detectives Ramos and Collins race to uncover the truth before it slips away for good.
An Indie Police Procedural
The trailer released by Moore Digital Studios clearly is enamored with the police procedural—specifically the interrogation room—and sets its story from there. A rich family is dead, and a group of Black men from the projects are the initial suspects. But there’s more than meets the eye here, clearly, and Director Moore wants to explore it. From a quick look at the trailer the film has that gritty, “NYPD Blue” type vibe, with some “Law & Order” mixed in. Yet it is also wholly indie, reminiscent of films we’ve reviewed before such as “Out of Exile” and single-location films such as “Broken Ceiling.”
The film—which is gearing up interest for film festival shows—features a stacked cast. Among them are: Rich Graff, Alexandra Sommese, Jennifer Mkoma, James David West, Marx Mitchell, and Ashlee M. Moore. The film is shot by Cinematographer Luigi Benvisto and edited by Edgar Burcksen (who sadly died last April). The film is produced by Benvisto, Burcksen, Moore, and Elizabeth Wardlaw.
More to Come
Lovers of crime drama or the aforementioned television programs should find easy footing with this project, as will those with a love of indie films. It’s poised as a detective drama, a whodunnit, or in the case a whydunnit? It certainly looks like there’s more than meets the eye, and the trailer begs a closer look.
Look for “Audrey”—whose titular character is hinted at in the final seconds of the trailer—at film festivals in the coming months. For more information about the film, you can head to its website here. You can also follow “Audrey” on Facebook and Instagram.
