Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild, The Girl Next Door) is starring in the new psychological thriller State of Consciousness from Iervolino Entertainment, which has just started filming in Bari, Italy, and the surrounding areas.
Marcus Stokes is directing the movie in which nightmares and reality become indistinguishable to Stephen (Hirsch) when he is forced to take medication for a psychological disorder he doesn’t have. To regain his sanity and get back to his normal life, he sets out to escape from the institution he has been trapped in.
The film is produced by Andrea Iervolino and Monika Bacardi. Silvio Muraglia’s Paradox Studios acquired worldwide distribution rights.
Andrea Iervolino said, “I can’t tell you how excited we are to have Emile jump into this role. Getting intensity, intelligence, and ingenuity all in one performance is daunting – until you get Emile Hirsch, then you breathe easier and things get really exciting. We’re really looking forward to making this movie and letting Emile do what he does best – command the screen. As always, we have installed stringent safety measures and protocols.”
Silvio Muraglia said, “State of Consciousness is a very strong story. A psychological thriller that will thrill immediately. The viewer will find himself not understanding where the truth is, which he will discover alongside Stephen (Hirsch) in a succession of twists and suspense. We are also very happy with the collaboration with the director, Marcus Stokes, who in addition to his brilliant directorial talent, boasts an extraordinary career in the field of visual effects.”
