BLACK SITE is the story of REN REID, orphaned as a child when a member of an ancient race known as THE ELDER GODS killed her parents. Twenty years have passed and a fractured Ren now works for the covert group ARTEMIS, an organization set up to capture, contain and deport these ELDER GODS back to the dimension that they came from.

Production continues with upcoming action horror sci-fi, Black Site with actress and martial artist Samantha Schnitzler cast as the lead. Filming started in May and the UK actress just started filming her scenes several days ago, including over the weekend wherein the production unveiled a first look at Schnitzler from the set. Take a look:
Tom Paton directs his third outing, hailing from AirPick Pictures and Tom Paton Film and is described as a mix of elements from The Raid and the vision of H.P. Lovecraft.
Schnitzler, who shares stunt credits on Scott Derrickson’s Marvel adaptation, Doctor Strange, makes her feature film debut as Ren Reid, a member of an organization known as Artemis which detains and deports rogue members of a species known as Elder Gods.
