SYNOPSIS
Marianne is ready to breakup with her unreliable boyfriend, but she gives their love one more shot when he agrees to attend a relationship seminar, The Test. What she doesn’t know is that during the seminar the test facilitators are looking for more than a couple’s compatibility. When Marianne passes The Test it is revealed that the purpose of the seminar was to screen the population for the best and the brightest to enter The Survivor’s Colony. In the face of a pending global catastrophe, Marianne is forced to choose between leaving everyone she loves to perish in the disaster, or conform to the rules of The Survivor’s Colony to save her own life.

The Director's Message:
According to recent research by Parker et al (2019) only 4% of film directors are female, with male characters being overrepresented in leading roles and dominate in terms of importance to film stories (Chen & Cui, 2020). People tend to believe and act upon what they see. Therefore, if the images presented by the media are limited in their depictions of women, viewers will behave according to these limited models. Hence, creating unique female protagonists and storylines is crucial in contributing important messages to society about women’s issues. The Test will feature strong female leads, including an award winning actress, underrepresented minority voices, and a stellar production crew. With a total budget of $100,000 the Sullied Bride Productions crew will be able to shoot, edit, and distribute the film in one year. This high-quality film will include an unforgettable story, memorable original score, and reach audiences across all demographics.
