In an oppressive world where free will is becoming a thing of the past, The Draw offers a chilling look at humanity’s potential future.
The UK dystopian sci-fi thriller is on Digital today via Electric Entertainment. Watch the trailer below.
The Draw is set against the backdrop of a politically motivated game show in which contestants are hunted as a form of entertainment. In a world where reality is controlled and the past is illegal, one game decides everything.
Alec, an awkward dreamer, works in the local avatar store where customers can design their idealized real-life persona; a symbol of the EyeLight based technological revolution that Alec passionately resists.
His isolation is invaded by Jade, an equally rebellious figure who has learned to navigate the system more strategically than Alec. As their relationship deepens, they become connected to the values of a forgotten past that could cost them to lose everything.
Ryan Gage (The Hobbit), Lara Lemon (“Insomnia”), Rozelle Gemma, Samuel Clemens, Sanjeev Kohli (“Dept. Q”), and Marie Everett star.
Writer-director Tom Ruddock makes his feature debut on the project. Shelley Ruddock produces via View 35 Films.
“As technology continues to evolve at an astonishing pace, it compels us to imagine the future through the lens of robotics and artificial intelligence. Both thrilling and unsettling, this film delivers exactly what fans of the genre crave — an experience that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining,” praised filmmaker Dean Devlin (Geostorm, Bad Samaritan).
