Synopsis:
Four friends and one reluctant older sister go camping to celebrate high school graduation. It's a fun
vacation until the older sister goes missing and is found trapped down an abandoned mine. But the
mine isn't empty, there's a fortune in gold ready for the taking...
Now the friends face a dilemma: if they call the Rangers to rescue the sister they'll lose the gold as
it's a national park.
So they convince the sister to delay the rescue so they can dig out the gold. But the more they dig the
harder it is to leave as they grow richer and richer. As they push themselves to the limit, it's then that
we start to realize that the forces of evil aren't external, but internal. Brutally unapologetic, GOLDEN
hurtles the viewer through a gamut of emotions.
And maybe, just a little reflective that we may all be capable of following the same path...
Creation Statement:
I've wanted to create a film that would combine those forces with a moral dilemma like in A SIMPLE
PLAN or SHALLOW GRAVE. The result is GOLDEN. A story of beauty and innocence destroyed by
greed. To complement the story of GOLDEN, I will bring to it over 15 years of visual effects
experience working on films such as STAR WARS Episode 1, 2 & 3, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN,
TRANSFORMERS, IRON MAN and most recently AVATAR.
