Seattle-based MindRiot Entertainment is teaming up with Panama’s Hypatia Films, an associate producer of Claire Denis’ Cannes Grand Prix winner “Stars at Noon,” on the groundbreaking documentary, “…
,” based on the findings of Seattle native Dr. Jason Rubin who has used deductive reasoning, the writings of philosopher Plato and the most advanced satellite sonar imagery to pinpoint the location of the fabled lost island of Atlantis.
These are just two of the multiple projects brewing at MindRiot, which has built a slate of interesting projects from its Pacific Northwest base.
Co-produced with Rumble Riot Pictures and directed by Iranian-American director Kourosh Ahari , the sci-fi thriller is an adaptation of Chinese pic, “Parallel Forest.” Reset in the pristine, old growth forests of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula, it follows the journey of a grief-stricken woman who finds herself mysteriously navigating parallel spaces, the synopsis goes.
Washington has been doing its part to encourage location filming in the state. Last March, it passed legislation to increase the amount of B&O tax credits that the MCPC can award to films, up from $3.5 million per annum to $15 million. It also boosted the individual tax credit that a film can receive from $750,000 to $1 million.
