As a mysterious voice taunts him, his only hope is to comply with absurd demands…or the temperature goes up! Tension rises along with the temperature. Will he bake to death?  Unhinged: A man is living the high life but it’s a life built upon the ruin of other people’s dreams. But there is nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose who is seeking retribution. It’s payback time and that just might include a pound of flesh.  Flashburn: A virologist holds the key to a deadly virus somewhere in the recesses of his mind. But to save the world he must first save himself. When all hope seems lost he must find the antidote while fighting for his life from the saboteurs hell-bent on seeing him fail. Wyatt Wright and Harold McCall are former cops who joined award winning artist Chris Palin and other movie producers, including high-tech entrepreneur Justin Fischer, to create a unique media company that shoots feature length films in under three weeks. Recognized stars and actors on the brink of stardom are used to add to the allure. Wright and McCall spent nearly 20 years enforcing the law in San Antonio before becoming lawyers and then filmmakers. Palin previously made his mark in the Austin visual art scene.
