TITLE: HIGH-RISE (Feature Film – in Development)

The tower’s affluent tenants are bent on an orgy of destruction; cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on "enemy floors" and the once luxurious amenities become an arena for technological mayhem. The rule of law gives way to the rule of the jungle as life crumbles around them.
