Thomas Haley's directorial feature film debut Breakdown has released world wide on digital platforms from AVAIL Entertainment, with a dvd release set for 1st Quarter 2021. It also marks the feature film debut for his production company H2 Crew Productions.
Breakdown is
Thomas Haley’s passion project and has been in the works for a few years. It’s
release is well timed given the current pandemic which share similarities with
the film’s grim reality. After a mysterious virus has wiped out much of the
worlds population, with the remaining sick being corralled in quarantine zones,
as one man fights to find a cure to save humanity, and himself.
Breakdown is
directed and stars Thomas Haley in his most intense role released to date,
carrying much of the film’s heavy themes. He is surrounded by a stellar
supporting cast including rising scream queen Brooklyn Haley (Paranormal
Attraction, Camp Twilight, Slice and Dice), Corey Sorenson (Chicago Fire,
Patchwork, Palo Alto), Jessica Cameron (Truth or Dare, Silent Night, All
Through The House) and John Marrott (Envy, Desert Moon).
The Film has
been described as a cross between “I am Legend” and “Contagion” and was filmed
with a skeleton crew and a strategically spent micro budget. When asked about
the film Haley had these comments:
“Months were
spent in preproduction planning out where the best use our resources would
really make the biggest impact. Every shot was discussed with the team to make
every angle look its best. When CoVid
Hit Los Angeles, It was crazy. We had no idea how much reality would actually
imitate art. We had a completed project centered around a virus and I thought
lets get this out because people are going through very similar conflicts as
Tim Reynolds (our Lead Character in Breakdown) and that relatability may help
people feel less alone during this real life pandemic.”
Breakdown was written by
cinematographer Dan Jagels, who is a frequent collaborator with Haley, this is
the 13th time have worked together. When asked about his inspiration for the
script, Jagels said the following:
“I
have always wondered and been fascinated by what it would really be like when
something like a disease or natural disaster hits the world. But not on a grand scale like most disaster
or post apocalyptic movies, but for the individual. The one man or woman that is trying to
survive, that has perhaps already lost what he holds so dear. Would this person in turn lose
themselves? Their sense of right and
wrong? Especially if others around him
have gone to the dark side, so to speak. And no one is held accountable. This film explores that idea. One mans journey to do what is right,
especially when everything has been lost or taken from him.”
