Slow Cooker Death Trap

Logline:
In the meatless future, a lone FDA agent must topple a cult of cannibal meat smugglers.

Synopsis:
In the near future, militant vegans have outlawed the production of organic meat, but an unspoken desire for real meat remains in the populace, and black-market butchers have risen to fill this need. Most meat dealers are wary of the risks of raising livestock ever since the government crackdown. However, 600,000 people go missing in America every year...

Cut off from her team and lost in the depths of an illegal butcher-shop, an intrepid FDA agent attempts to escape and take down the notorious and violent meat operation, discovering the dark and twisted web of secrets at it’s core.

Writer Biography - BJ Turner III, Samuel Sexton Huntley, Diana Sexton, Val Turner

The award winning film studio Standard Definition Films began as a single, crazy idea: to shoot a feature film in one week for two thousand dollars...

At the last minute, one of our actresses fell through, and our entire script went with her. Rather than throw in the towel, we decided to channel our cumulative creative excitement into a different project. We scrabbled together five short story scripts in three weeks, replanned our trip, and went to Arkansas for our week of shooting. There, we shot one short film a day for five days straight, a grueling and ecstatic experience we’ve come to call the Five-in-Five. We emerged from our week of shooting as a tight-knit group of friends and decided we wanted nothing more than to keep creating together.

Since then, we’ve shot another Five-in-Five, five additional short films, and finally, our long-awaited feature (still shot for less than two-thousand dollars). We’ve found an amazing community in Austin through our work, which has received a warmer welcome than we had ever hoped for, and we have become like family to each other.
