Micro budget, indie film with guaranteed national distribution.

Blood Red Snow is a real time, gritty (narrative weaving, mesmerizing in its simplicity) grindhouse film with serious and deep undertones. Think WINTERSBONE meets NO COUNTRY for OLD MEN meets SONS of ANARCHY meets APOCALYPSE NOW meets DEXTER.

BRS is the introduction of the character Brodie James, the leader of the
360 Death Squad, a group of one percenters redefined with high moral values who have walked dangerous and lonely paths in different ways yet unite under
the banner of vengeance. All that matters is that justice is served for those who willingly and knowingly main, murder or manipulate innocent people for gain and profit. No man, no county, no state and no senator is going to dictate how these men walk, live, thrive or die on this earth. That’s not for another man to decide...and so after his tours of duty in Iraq Brodie could have done many things, and then he realized that he was put on earth for a reason...that he has a higher purpose...to right the wrongs committed willingly and knowingly by those who lost their way and gave themselves to evil...for as long as he has air in his lungs.
