Private Project

The Attaché.

The Attaché joins troubled lovebirds Rian and Liz on a scenic hike as it is interrupted by a shocking, fiery plane crash. Without a cell signal to call for help, they rush to the aid of the lone living passenger. The discovery of an alluring briefcase amid the rubble drives the wedge between them even further, deepening the existing cracks in their relationship until it goes pop. Rian and Liz may not make it out alive, but the case lives on, giving those who discover it a chance of their own to succumb to the strange spell of the mysterious attaché.

Director Statement

In The Attaché, I wanted to make a film that explored our shadow, what I see as the root of a deep sense of distrust in our own identity. There are times we are triggered and compulsive, hijacked by our darkest, irrational instincts. These moments are inevitably contagious, infecting those around us. The Attaché case is the baggage that is pulling us down, pushing us toward a nexus of destruction.
