Milford-based film company Ace In The Hole Films, in conjunction with Death Sickle Productions from North Webster, has begun pre-production on their upcoming feature film, “The Debt Collector,” which will be released in the fall of 2014.

“The Debt Collector” tells the story of Chris, a college student living off of his trust fund, who loses everything he has. For the first time in his life, Chris must get a real job, but when the pressures of the job and past issues arise, just how far will he go to restart his life?

“Coming off of my first short, “The Destination,” I really wanted to make a different type of film as a feature.” said A.C. McCray, owner of Ace In The Hole Films. “I had originally thought  to do a comedy, but when I was brought the story idea, I knew this was the one that would be fun to make.”

The film features a script by Tyler Van Sickle, Owner of Death Sickle Productions, and McCray, and is based on an original story concept by Van Sickle. Aside from scripting “The Debt Collector,” McCray will be filling the directors chair and Van Sickle will executive produce. The film will be distributed though Ace In The Hole Films.

“I am excited to see my friend of many years so enthusiastic about making this idea of mine into an actual movie,” Said Van Sickle.

Casting will be taking place soon and actors will be needed to fill various roles. Talent will be needed to help behind the scenes as well. For more information on upcoming casting calls or to find out how you can get involved, email A.C. McCray at Ace In The Hole Films at  [email protected].
