Selma director shooting new psychological thriller

SELMA — A new psychological horror/thriller movie is set to be filmed locally by Arise & Be Films, the production banner of Emmy Award-winning producer/director Jason Bullock. He has acquired a screenplay written by David Quiroz Jr. titled "10 Years After" with plans to bring it to life in Johnston County.

The story is about Allison, a young woman who marries Chris, the man who saved her from a psychotic killer. Ten years later, they still carry the traumas from that night that cultivate in harsh truths being revealed during an anniversary trip, all while a copycat killer has emerged to finish the job.

Bullock, who’s set to produce and direct the film, acquired the screenplay after reading it online. “As soon as I finished reading the script I knew I wanted to bring it to life. David has written an incredible story and it deserves to be seen” Bullock said.

While this is his first feature film as a producer and director, Bullock has produced six short films as well as had a distinguished fifteen year career as a commercial video producer.

While some conversations about who will star in it have begun, no official casting announcements have been made just yet. Production is set to begin in 2025 with plans to shoot mostly in Johnston County.
