Road Rash Reviews

MERCS Promo

photo(17)MERCS is written and directed by Mike Morris, who also acted in the award winning short Coeur De Pierre. He has now taken the huge step of taking on feature films and MERCS is his first foray into his dream job, which he has known since he started in the “Business” at the bottom as a Runner, Sound Man, Actor, Producer, Writer and now Director.

This feature is a self-funded project that has been a labour of love tinged with grit and determination, using industry professionals as well as talented others.

photo(15)MERCS takes place in a Hyper Reality world where real life gets left at the door. The characters are larger than life and the mix of live action and comic book animation will leave an air of excitement from start to finish.

The film follows a Rag Tag group of Mercenaries as they take on a very high risk mission with only one outcome. The audience will get to know and hopefully care about these characters. The villains of our piece are every bit as dangerous as our heroes which leaves a real cliff hanger of emotion for the audience as they watch the battle unfold.

MERCS is a film about Family, Courage and Retribution. Three powerful forces all heading in one direction.
