AFM 2017: Action Thriller BORDERLINE Teases Cult Appeal With Diego Hallivis To Direct

Screen Media has been hitting the floor this week selling its package to buyers including sci-fi drama, Curvature from helmer Diego Hallivis. In wake of this, Variety is now reporting the director will be working on the new action thriller, Borderline, marking the latest project under his shared 1inMM Productions banner with sibling and prod. partner Julio Hallvis.

Story details are being kept quiet while the plot itself is being described as a cross between David McKenzie’s Hell Or High Water and the 2014 hit movie, John Wick. In that case, it’s reasonable to imagine this being a desert hitman western heist thriller with a Wick-ton of gun fu and BJJ scrapping and personally, I hope that’s the case.

Phillip Tarl Denson wrote the film which 1inMM is financing. Hallvis’s Curvature screened recently at Sitges and will release early next year with Lyndsay Fonseca and Terminator 2: Judgement Day actress Linda Hamilton starring.

Johnny DeBeers steps in for the kill in the new short, SHIFTER

The Hallivis brothers – producer Julio and director Diego – already have an accumulating list of short film credits to their brand, with plenty more to check out at their official website. Adding to the list this week is the re-emergence of actor Johnny DeBeers who most recently appeared in an axe-wielding fight clip ahead of the forthcoming release of R.L. Scott’s new film, Call Me King. Only now, DeBeers is looking to spill some blood at a more excessive rate as a heavily-armed badass government soldier on a ruthless hunt against a freedom fighter in the new Hallivis Brothers sci-fi fantasy action short, Shifter.

Zach Avery and Virginia Welch round out the main cast of the project, of which you can check out some more material at their official Facebook page!
