Woolf + Lapin Acquires Launch Pad Overall Winner DON’T GO THERE – Exclusive

Woolf+Lapin is always on the lookout for an array of bold and especially unique projects. When we read Jeffrey Field’s DON’T GO THERE we were sure we had found a perfect fit. It’s most of all a great read, much like another script of his NO MAN’S LAND, that Oren Uziel (The CLOVERFIELD PARADOX, 22 JUMP STREET) is slated to produce.

DON’T GO THERE is perfectly aligned with what we are looking for: strong artistic merit while keeping overhead low. It’s a contained piece much like a DON’T BREATHE or STRANGERS where the storytelling is quite effective and insanely suspenseful. It totally subverts expectations.

There’s another element that excited us: a very strong, well-written role for a seasoned female actress.

DON’T GO THERE, we believe, stands up to the best in the crop of social thrillers that are making successful (critical and commercial) runs at the box office right now.

KNUCKLEBALL, directed by Michael Peterson, won an Audience Award at 2018’s Fantasia Film Festival and currently has a rating of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.

KNUCKLEBALL is a dark thriller starring Munro Chambers (Turbo Kid, Degrassi) and Michael Ironside (Scanners, Total Recall).

Michael Peterson’s feature film credits include LLOYD THE CONQUEROR (2011), a LARP comedy starring Mike Smith (Trailer Park Boys) and Brian Posehn (Mr. Show, The Big Bang Theory).
These films played worldwide at numerous top festivals, and are currently being distributed in multiple international territories, including Canada and the United States.

He is also one of the directors of CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN NUTS, which is nominated for a 2019 CSA award for Best Sketch Comedy Show & Ensemble Performance.

This is the 14th Summit of the Animayo Awards. And our very own Marc Messenger won for best cinematic for World of Warcraft: Lost Honor.

A single-minded private eye. A con artist with a grudge. A producer making ends meet and a stunt man at the end of his rope.

Just another week in Los Angeles.

Novice detective Lorien James has her work cut out for her. She’s just been hired to track down a shrewd impersonator, and lives (and Hollywood reputations) are on the line. Meanwhile, Derrick Silver is about to land his dream directing job – or so he thinks. Knives are sharpened and sequels are pitched as two separate timelines converge.

A story about the stories we tell ourselves, and about finding the truth by accident.

Dreamland is a six-episode fiction podcast that’s part mystery and part dark comedy. Inspired by actual events, it switches between two separate timelines to uncover
a surprising truth.

It is loosely based on the real-life story that broke in Hollywood last summer in which “some of the most powerful women in entertainment — including Amy Pascal, Kathleen Kennedy, Stacey Snider and a ‘Homeland’ director — have been impersonated by a cunning thief who targets insiders with promises of work, then bilks them out of thousands of dollars.”

Written by Chance Muehleck and directed by Melanie S. Armer, Dreamland is available for free and can be accessed directly on the website, as well as subscribed and listened to on all major platforms, including iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify.

The podcast is now being considered for a TV adaptation. Here’s a teaser for the podcast:
