Brooks, President, actor/producer/screenwriter Adam Ciesielski, & Vice President, director/producer/screenwriter Amel J. Figueroa, is set to produce it’s first feature film under the SaintSinner logo, a psychological drama with horror elements titled “Hush”.

SYNOPSIS :
HUSH” follows the final descent of Michael Rose, a college student troubled by an abusive past, haunted by his nightmares, and tortured by his “other self.” Michael spends his days playing music, hanging with his friend, JD, and thinking about his dead mother. Withdrawn from most social life, he falls for Isabel, a strong charismatic woman who works at the local video store. Torn between his feelings for Isabel and his fears of the apparitions that haunt his dreams and the voices in his head; Michael plunges deeper into his dark world where the line between insanity and reality blur.

DSC01157As Michael attempts to fight off violent memories of the past and the present, he must also contend with the obnoxious new boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend, an old buddy of his who since stealing his girl takes every opportunity to push Michael over the edge. At the climax of this film, Michael must come face to face with his innermost demons, and finally come to a point of reassuring contentment, or utter insanity. Will the first possible love of Michael’s life save him from himself, or will he become more cold and sadistic than his old man ever was?

Based on Figueroa’s short story “It’s Always the Quiet Ones”, (which was published by Fiction Press in 2002), “Hush” follows the rapid descent into darkness of a young man named Michael Rose. Rose has spent years haunted by the evil that was his dead father, and the same amount of time trying not to become an even crazier version of the very man responsible for wrecking the early ages of his existence. He looks to the prospect of love to possibly push the sinister nightmares of chaos and carnage away for good, but he soon finds out that love just might not be enough, and that the sins of his father may have left him on a road that leads only to death and destruction.

Figueroa will act as screenwriter, producer, and director, with his SaintSinner partners Brandon E. Brooks and Adam Ciesielski, and another New Jersey based filmmaker, David Von Roehm (president of Ningun Films) serving as executive producers. The “Hush” cast will include

Ciesielski (Fear of Clowns 2) in the lead role as “Michael”,
along with up & coming talent like
Brea Bee (The Eye of the Tiger, Thrill of the Fight),
Clayton Myers (Nimrod),
Jeremy Zelig (“As the World Turns”),
Kierstin Cunnington (Ghost World), &
Mark Lassise (Fear of Clowns 1-2).

The cast will also feature veteran actors

Reggie Bannister (Phantasm),
Bill Allen (Rad), &
Tony Todd (Candyman), along with established television personalities
Jon Douglas Rainey (“It Takes a Thief”) and

In addition to producing “Hush”, SaintSinner Entertainment has numerous other projects in the works for early next year through the spring of 08’, including a horror slasher titled Kanyon’s End, a supernatural horror thriller titled Frightland, a music themed drama titled Soul, and an action crime drama television pilot titled “Jersey’s Finest”.
