Yarris (W/T), in production
In collaboration with Dox Productions, Wide-Eyed Entertainment and Red Vision VFX, Yarris (w/t) is the story of a man who spent 23 years on Death Row for a murder he did not commit. Drawing on over 20 hours of compelling interviews shot with Nick in 2007 and combining these with a series of gripping "graphic-novel" style CG-animations which often unfold around Nick on screen, we have brought together a unique consortium of film making talent for this project; to create a feature length documentary film for theatrical release sometime in 2011.
Following an escape from prison early on during his sentence Nick went on the run and was for a time on the FBI's most wanted list. Believing that DNA testing would exonerate him for the original murder, Nick eventually turned himself in. But it would be another 18 years of living hell inside before a judge allowed the tests to go ahead. As a method of escaping inside his head Nick taught himself to read and write, consuming over 9,000 dime-store novels - and inadvertently turning himself into an extraordinary story teller in his own right. Working closely with Nick, we have vividly created the stories which have replayed in his mind so many times during his incarceration.
The trailer played well at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009 and we are seeking final funding for this production to complete the film. Please contact us if you are interested in supporting this important film. Visit us at Vimeo
