SYNOPSIS
Jenna, Renee, Ian and Michael arrive at a lakeside cabin
owned by Ian's uncle Wade. Intending to enjoy a carefree
weekend, instead, three of them become locked in the
hot sauna. First they think its Michael playing jokes on
them, but soon realize that help is not coming and they
must find a way out before the heat kills them. As the
heat rises they are pushed to their physical and
psychological limits - staying alive is not easy any more.
Breaking a small window - may be the worst thing they
can do, because cool air will trick the thermostat to run
the heater full blast. They need to get out, but all they can
is wait
Wait for what, wait for who?!
How long could you wait in the heat up to 250 degree
Fahrenheit.

THE COMPANIES
In 2011 IMEDI TV formed IMEDI FILMS, a production
company conceived purely for the purpose of making
high quality, commercially viable, feature films. As part
of this venture, IMEDI FILMS have made a substantial
investment in production equipment and sound stage of
International standards.
SARKE STUDIO is one of the biggest, largest and
oldest production companies in the Caucasus region of
Georgia. Since 1998, SARKE STUDIO has been
specializing in TV commercial production. After having
over 800 TV commercials in the portfolio, SARKE
STUDIO has now become a production service
provider for domestic and international projects, for
both Commercials and Film.
SARKE STUDIO and IMEDI FILMS have partnered to
produce films together. The two corporations are a
match made in heaven. By joining the financial strength
of IMEDI FILMS and the production experience of
SARKE STUDIO, they have their goals set on making
high quality films, for US and International markets.
In 2011, they finished the first joint venture - 247°F. The
film was premiered during AFM in 2011 and garnered
much well deserved acclaim in the movie circles in the
US. It was immediately picked up by Anchor Bay to be
released during the much awaited Halloween season in
October 2012.
After it's initial
success, IMEDI
FILMS and SAKRE
STUDIO have
committed to a slate
of 3 new films.
The Casting (Filming June-July / to be screened
at AFM 2012)
When ten beautiful actresses show up for the
audition of a lifetime, they quickly realize this is no
ordinary casting call.
Trapped in an abandoned factory, they are pitted
against each other in a ruthless game of life and
death. All they know is what a female voice has told
them - she is one of them.
In a race against the clock they must decide who
they think she is, and the one they choose will die. If
they are right they go free; if they wrong they face
ever more brutal and deadly setups.
The ruthless quest for survival spins off as one death
follows another and only one question remains: Who
is the Voice? Is she really one of them? Or is this
whole ordeal as fake as the woman in the room?
The Salvia Experiment (Pre-production / to be
screened at AFM 2012)
In a remote lab, six young psychology students will
explore the effects of the most psychoactive plant
ever discovered: SALVIA DIVINORUM.
After prolonged exposure to "The Experiment", they
begin to slide into a fractured state of consciousness
where they can no longer differentiate reality from
fantasy, and as hallucinations take on real forms,
their lives spiral into a chaotic fight for survival.
DEAD MOUNTAIN (To be filmed in winter 2013)
During the winter of 1959, nine hikers venture out
into an isolated region of the Russian Ural
Mountains, led by their brazen leader Igor Dyatlov.
Encountering rough weather, Igor deviates the group
up a shorter trail on a mountain rumored by local
Indian legend to be cursed. When group members
start turning into corpses bearing inexplicable,
horrific injuries, the remaining hikers quickly believe
they have fallen victim to the mountain’s curse. Igor,
in accordance with the Soviet doctrine, does all he
can to disprove evil’s existence and search for a
logical explanation ignoring his friend’s pleas to
leave.
As the body count rises, and injuries become more
bizarre, Igor’s desire to disprove the curse quickly
turns into a futile obsession. As he slowly descends
into madness, the remaining hiker’s fears push them
to the limit, and eventually... to their graves.
This film serves as a testament to the the Dyatlov
Pass incident of February 1959. After much
investigation Soviet officials determined only that "a
compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths of
the nine hikers; this has remained one of Russia’s
most intriguing unsolved mysteries for over half a
century.
