Project, financed by Raven Banner and Cart Before the Horse Productions LLC, is expected to begin lensing this week at an abandoned gold mine on the outskirts of Los Angeles with Raven Banner handling world sales.
Savaged tells the story of Zoe (starring newcomer Amanda Adrienne), a beautiful deaf woman who is abducted, brutalized and left for dead by a murderous gang. When she is found by a local native medicine man, he tries to save her but his efforts take a disastrous turn when she awakes possessed by a murdered Apache chief, hellbent on revenge.
Writer/Director, Ojeda recently directed two seasons of Spikes Deadliest Warrior and his first feature, Lanas Rain was released theatrically in the U.S. and earned three stars from critic, Roger Ebert.
“Savaged is a throwback to classic horror movies like Evil Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Frankenstein, fused with today’s filmmaking sensibilities while incorporating popular elements such as a strong female lead, revenge, and even the zombie mythos, with a powerful love story and of course edge of your seat action” says Ojeda. “The passion and belief that Raven Banner has expressed in my project is more than flattering. I’m looking forward to building a long lasting relationship with them.”
For some great behind the scenes stills, sketches, artwork and updates, the filmmakers encourage anyone interested to check out the film’s Facebook page.
