He walks the streets every day to find his next meal, but he also seeks something else—angels. As They Continue to Fall tells the story of a man without a home who hunts divine beings in a city that has fallen into ruin. The dystopian society may have turned its back on him, but that doesn’t stop him from moving forward in his endless search.
First-time director Nikhil Bhagat will begin filming shortly a script written by Sinister‘s screenwriter C. Robert Cargill. Cargill was a long time contributor to Aintitcool.com before writing Sinister. Boasting a very strong crew, As They Continue to Fall is now seeking funding through a Kickstarter campaign.
Bhagat and Cargill met on the popular social media site Reddit.com last year after Bhagat contacted him. Cargill liked the short films that Bhagat had directed in the past, and agreed to meet with him. After a meeting, Cargill wrote the the script to As They Continue to Fall.
According to the press release:
Sinister screenwriter C. Robert Cargill joins with first-time director Nikhil Bhagat to create the script for the short film, which stars actor John Henry Whitaker. Whitaker has appeared in various television shows, including Sons of Anarchy and Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Filming is set to begin in Los Angeles, California during January and the team plans to release it in March 2014.
The indie project is produced by Chris Boyd, who recently won an Emmy for best sports documentary First Padres. Puncture cinematographer Helge Gerull is also contributing to the effort and will be responsible for shooting As They Continue to Fall. Cameras are operated by David M. Brewer, the cinematographer of Insidious.
