Digital Jungle Pictures has completed post-production on its first feature marking the directorial debut of Dennis Ho.
A Better Place follows a closeted young introvert with a supernatural ability who is forced to confront the outside world after his mother dies.
“I had a novel concept come into my mind,” said Digital Jungle Pictures and Digital Jungle Post Production owner and president Ho. “A boy with the power to reflect and redirect violence in a way that forces people to rethink their actions.
“The story is an allegory that makes a statement about the world around us, but filtered through a fantasy lens.”
The cast on A Better Place includes Stephen Todt, Mary Ann Raemisch and Garrett Wareing.
