Any Nichelle Nichols (Lt Uhura) fans out there?
I'm putting together a little feature film project with Nichelle that is geared toward enlightening the populace about torture and this administration. Nichelle is on board, in fact she's already rehearsed!

We need to find an executive producer(s). Our budget is quite tiny.

If the below looks interesting, please write me at grahamhgreen@yahoo.com.

“THE TORTURER”
Seeks Executive Producer

INTRODUCTION: Legendary Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura – “Star Trek”) will star in this sharp new pic along with rising star powerhouse Andrew Walker (“Steel Toes” w/ David Strathairn), and chic Persian newbie Mahsa Masoudi (Revenge of the Nerds 2006). Sophia Choi (former CNN anchor) will also be featured. “The Torturer a.k.a. Force Drift” is a bleeding-edge psycho-thriller from writer/director Graham H Green that dives headfirst into an adrenaline-fueled world of psycho-killers, secret prisons, terrorists, and political intrigue. This smart and gripping tale of torture and twisted sex follows a ‘military contractor’ who returns from Iraq pursued by a terrifying secret that an alluring, ambitious doctor ultimately reveals.

WORKING TITLE: "THE TORTURER a.k.a Force Drift"
DESCRIPTOR: “SAW” meets “FARENHEIT 9-11”
DESCRIPTION: The film involves, essentially, only two sets and three actors.

SYNOPSIS: You’re dragged from your house to a secret prison. You have no right to a lawyer or a fair and speedy trial. You don’t know when — or if — you will ever be released. You don’t know who your captor is, if he's legitimate, or what tools he will use to get what he wants. The sound of the man screaming in a distant cell is terrifying, but not nearly as terrifying as the sound of the electric drill that accompanies it. No one can hear your cries for help. Nothing you say seems to satisfy him. Nothing he says seems to make sense. You tell him you don’t know the answers to his questions. He says you’re lying. He says he has proof, evidence, photographs, Internet records, wiretaps, bags of uranium oxide. You're hooded, frozen, stripped, probed and sexually humiliated. The deeper he goes the more you doubt our own sanity, and his. You know what you need to do to stop him, but you won’t. You're confused. Only one thing is certain: In A Post 9-11 World No One Can Hear You Scream.

GUARANTEE: We guarantee you will not disentangle the plot before it unfolds.

1. She still, to this day, is hotter than fire.
And a fine actress to boot. Wish she had gotten more significant roles in the movies.

Sounds like a neat project - she's been extremely active in various causes over the years, I'm glad to see that hasn't changed.

2. She's Coming to Shore Leave in July
I'll have to ask her about it. I've met many stars over my time in fandom, but she's the ONLY one I've ever gone "fangirl" over. Uhura was my favorite growing up, because she was the only woman on the bridge! Black, white, green, I didn't care. She was the girl in the all-boys club!

3. Hi
She's already doing the film, regardless. We are just looking for a little more funding.

Best,
Graham
