Rogues
Developing “‘Rogues‘ – Feature Film.
About Rogues:
Rogues is one of a kind. It is an unscripted epic pirate movie. Our process creates a visceral storytelling experience in that what’s going on onscreen is going on in-the-moment before your eyes. The juxtaposition of cinema verite style onto a period drama is another innovation that sets this project apart visually. It’s raw, and fresh, and beautiful. At the center of it all is the story of a passionate captain, and his men who love him, the breathless women who adore him, and a society that doesn’t know what to do with him. Rogues is grounded in the volatile life and times of the early 1700’s. The characters are heroic and yet at the same time painfully flawed. Their relationships are charged with primal passions of love, jealousy, and fear. For a man addicted to the sins of the world, Captain James Augustus Clarke must decide between his loyalties to himself or the loyalty to those that love and depend on him.
