Two projects from NSI alumni will be part of the Frontières genre market next month in Montreal, presented as part of Fantasia International Film Festival’s slate of programming.

The Retreat from writer/producer Alyson Richards (NSI Drama Prize, NSI Features First) and director Pat Mills (NSI Drama Prize, NSI Totally Television, NSI Features First, NSI Script to Screen) and NSI Features First-developed We Came From the Sea from writer Ryan Bright and director Jeremy Lutter will participate in this year’s market.

In The Retreat, a lesbian couple with a rocky relationship go to a friend’s pre-wedding retreat and end up fighting for their lives when a group of militant serial killers tries to murder them.

We Came From the Sea is about ruined athlete and recovering addict Einar, who fights to keep his wife and daughter safe when a stranger of unknown origin washes up on the shore of their remote island home. Einar must kill the stranger and a part of himself.
