Saskatoon: Thomega Entertainment has teamed with Regina-based production heavyweight Minds Eye Pictures to develop the new feature In Seclusion, a psychological thriller about a family put in jeopardy when they mistakenly become involved in an FBI investigation.

According to Thomega producer Anthony Towstego, the film is born out of out of his positive experiences with Minds Eye on Without Malice, the company’s 2000 thriller starring Jennifer Beals and Craig Sheffer, which had a similar wintry setting. In Seclusion, like Without Malice, will be shot in the northern Saskatchewan town of Waskesiu Lake.

Jeff Martel penned the script, currently in development with funding from SaskFilm and Movie Central, and awaiting word from Telefilm Canada. Minds Eye’s Kevin DeWalt is executive producing, but a director is still being sought. Towstego hopes to see production begin next spring.
