Major movie plans to shoot exclusively in Trenton

TRENTON, N.J. — A new political thriller titled, Enhanced Interrogation, which addresses the current issues of terrorism and torture in America, has plans to be shot in the City of Trenton.

The film’s producers and screenwriters are Trenton’s own, Daryl Brooks, along with Stephen Martino of Bloch Wall Productions.

These men collaborated with veteran Director Terry R. Wickham of Manta Ray Pictures to create a movie that raises questions of moral and ethical dilemma.

Wickham states that, “Daryl Brooks and Stephen Martino have constructed a controversial story that is incredibly topical in our modern-day society, and asks the potent question of ‘what if’ our country was put in a pressure-cooker situation of the moral dilemma this story raises?”

Even though the movie provokes debate, Brooks decided to make the film in Trenton because he wants to do something positive for the city by bringing excitement and business opportunities here.

In addition to asking for support from Trenton’s local businesses, Brooks said, “I wanted to wake people up and to make them think about terrorism and torture in America.”

Enhanced Interrogation is about a foreign-born terrorist who now finds herself legally on American soil, preparing to bring terror and death from her native country to the states. The FBI uncovered her plot for another 9-11 type terrorist attack, but still does not know how, where, or by whom the attack will take place. When standard interrogation methods fail, the decision is left to the president of the United States whether to utilize Abu Ghraib-type torture techniques to obtain the information.

So, the movie explores much of the history of modern-day radical Islamic terrorism, states Martino.

“Tempers flare as the audience watches the terrorist plot unfold on the big screen. Will they torture her or not? That is the question,” he writes.

Brooks said they hope the movie will be thought provoking.
The film is also proud to feature actors who are from Trenton such as Lance Lopez Sr., Dewane Parker, Nacone Martin, Carter Patterson, and Raina Williamson.

“In the end, we’re very pleased that really talented actors in the city embraced the script and signed up for the film,” states Martino.

Dewane Parker, said given his background as an experienced actor, author, and FBI agent, he was curious about the script and cannot wait to start filming.

The producers plan to release Enhanced Interrogation domestically and internationally in December. They also plan to enter it in most major film festivals across the country and the globe.

At this time, they are seeking monetary support via indiegogo.com and gofundme.com
