CURRENT PROJECTS

INTO THE SUNSET – coming 2021

This is the story of Saul, an aging courier making one last cross-country run. A delivery. The resolution of a broken promise far too many years old. Pursued by details and the devil, he seeks absolution.

“Into the Sunset” is an adventure – part road movie, part modern western, exploring what drives a man when he must finally come to terms with his own failings and realizes the things he once deemed important have turned hollow, costing him more than he was prepared to pay. Shepherded by Bixby – his mechanic and friend, and Gwen – a mysterious woman with unclear motives, the three head west with the ashes of Saul’s long dead wife in a stolen antique porcelain box.

Written and to be directed by Kent Meloy, this is Tunguska Pictures’ first feature-length film.

FUTURE TENSE – coming 2020

After believing he has invented a phone that can communicate through time, a man must come to terms with the consequences of his actions.

In partnership with Red 0 Hat. Written and produced by Andrew Ludington and Justin Bondi. Directed by Kent Meloy. Starring David Williams and Timothy Ortmann.
