TRILLIUM has optioned the screenplay “Spectre of Evil” by director/screenwriter Frank Caruso. The script is based on the book “The Camera Guy”, written by R.W Goodship, who is a former Police Officer and retired Forensic Investigator. Goodship spent over 22 years in the Forensic section (FIS in Canada) gaining experience in explosive ordinance disposal, post blast, arson, blood spatter, firearms reconstruction, fingerprint examination and a host of other disciplines. His last 5 years before retiring were spent working under the Office of the Attorney General of Ontario, as a Forensic Investigator. “Spectre of Evil” is a noir thriller produced by Warren Wayne and Allan Levine and directed by Frank A. Caruso. Mr. Caruso has directed 11 feature films and documentaries over the last 20 years. Among Caruso's notable works is the recently completed “Red Pine City," staring Eric Roberts, Rick Ravanello and Elise Muller, a fast paced exploration of power and redemption. Caruso’s keen ability to capture raw human emotions on screen has earned him admiration from audiences and fellow filmmakers alike. His dedication to authenticity and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of storytelling have set him apart in the competitive world of cinema. The project is being developed by Trillium Pictures and is expected to begin filming in July of 2024.

TRILLIUM would also like to announce that it has optioned the screenplay “The White Rabbit” by award winning screenwriter Todd E. Wise.

It was also selected for the Hollywood Film Festival, International New York Film Festival, Rome Independent “Prisma” Awards, and the Las Vegas Black Film Festival.
