The Unlock

The Unlock.

The answer is locked in his mind but the key might break it.

 In 2022 Jamie co-wrote his first original screenplay, The Unlock. It is currently in post-production.

Waking up chained to the ceiling in a warehouse somewhere in Lithuania Stephen, an ex-soldier, is faced by his interrogators. They tell him that he was involved in the kidnap of the Russian Foreign Minister by a far right group who will execute the Minister live on the internet in 90 minutes.

They believe Stephen knows the whereabouts of the kidnapped Minister, but Stephen has amnesia and time is running out. His interrogators however have been given permission to use any means necessary to unlock his memories - and that means taking them all to some very dark places.

The Unlock is the first of a kind. The actor playing the lead role Stephen has not seen a script and knows nothing about the story.

Not even the genre of the film. He was isolated entirely from cast and crew until filming ended. Being completely in the dark every reaction is real.

We call it Hyper Real film making and it has never been done before.

Here’s the trailer (warning: it contains strong language)
