Lorenzo di Bonaventura And Break Media Team Up For Sci-Fi Thriller HIGHER POWER

Break Media is teaming up with film veteran Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, GI Joe) for HIGHER POWER, a high-octane, effects-driven sci-fi thriller that marks the company’s expansion into feature-length entertainment.

Shot from the point of view of surveillance cameras, drones and first person footage, HIGHER POWER follows Joe, a man who wakes up in an alley and discovers his life is under the control of a brilliant psychopath bent on domination and revenge. The story explores what happens when an “Average Joe” is given the uncontrollable power of God.

The project will be released in chapterized segments online and in full-length format across traditional distribution platforms. HIGHER POWER will be directed by Hollywood filmmaker and VFX specialist Matt Santoro (300, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) from a script by Julia Fair.

“The move into producing long-form premium content significantly expands our capabilities as a media company and allows us broader options for different distribution models,” said Greg Siegel, SVP Entertainment Development, Break Media. “We’re able to push our creative boundaries and partner with incredible talent like Matt Santoro and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, providing them with an entirely new platform and audience to explore.”

“We are very excited about the opportunity to partner with Greg, his team at Break Media, and Matt and Julia on this project, which I believe can be a new model for bringing high-concept, long-form content to the public,” commented di Bonaventura.

Di Bonaventura and Siegel are producing alongside Break Media’s Evan Cholfin. Deborah Aquila is casting the project, which is slated to start production in July.
