A Horrific Imposter on its Way

Right now the general perception of the police is pretty bad, but regardless of how you feel about them, the job is pretty tough. Some people, though… some people clearly look to take advantage of the long arm of the law.
From the Press Release:
Writer, producer, director Marc Selz (The Rockville Slayer, Satanic Panic) and his new production label, Psycho Logical Pictures, LLC, are moving forward on the new high concept feature IMPOSTER, previously titled Pulled Over.
The short film Dead Spot, which was last mentioned along with the launching of the company, was put off because of work on another feature screenplay entitled Zombie Wedding. Moving forward, Psycho Logical Pictures will stay focused on feature films.
Imposter is a modern-day “Fem Jep” road thriller in the vein of such films as Joy Ride, Jeepers Creepers, and The Hitcher. Selz finished Imposter’s 13-page detailed treatment over a year ago and completed the 89-page screenplay with Karl (Satanic Panic) Sundstrom. Marc wants to get the picture rolling soon and hopes to get other companies involved.
Inspired by true accounts, Imposter tells the tale of two high school females who are terrorized by a crazed police imposter on their late night drive home from a Halloween party. Selz said the concept had been in his head for years and now felt like it was a good time to move forward with it.
Selz felt this new project had a unique spin that hadn’t been touched upon in any other previous road thrillers. “We live in a time, now more than ever, where we don’t know who to trust. This really happens. What would you do if you were put in this situation? Those combinations make this concept more relevant and fitting,” says Selz. Marc also felt this was an ingenious MO for a serial killer to trick and lure vulnerable prey.
