A darkly humorous story, 'The Syndicate' centres on a family of serial killers fostered as 'troubled' children. One of these children, Nathan, now a well adjusted adult, lives in London where, until recently, he had killed in partnership with his biological brother Jamie. However, when Jamie is killed in a car accident, Nathan cannot adjust to working alone, feeling the loss of his brother greatly. Then he meets Rhys.
Young, inexperienced and eager to learn the business, Rhys evokes the big brother in Nathan and when Nathan agrees to take Rhys under his wing, it seems the family is once more complete.
But will the family accept Rhys? And how will his
arrival affect 'the syndicate'? |

Written by Victoria Howell and Amy Howell, from an original concept by Amy, ‘The Syndicate’ was developed in mid 2009 with the final script completed in December 2009.
The series was shot over three months between February and April 2010 – finishing on Easter Sunday with chocolate aplenty for all! – mainly using a Panasonic HDX900 camera which was generously donated to us for the shoot by Panavision. Additional footage was shot using a Sony EX1 and Red One.
Post-production began in late April 2010 and, after
a few set-backs over the summer, is due to be completed
in early 2011 – making it a year from start
to finish of production.
We hope you enjoy it!  |
