REZILIENCE
Serpent Lake Reserve lies nearly forgotten in the remote reaches of Canada’s far north, until disaster strikes with a catastrophic event that wipes out much of the community. A military experiment gone terribly wrong uncovers a dark history of genocide and corruption, unleashing a malevolent force that seems impossible to stop. Four survivors must band together to escape and share their horrific story with the world.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
"People are tired of blockbuster movies that rely on special effects to tell the story (if there is one). They are craving unique stories that have depth and which stay with you after you leave the theatre. Far too many movies are sequels, prequels and reboots and we're getting lazy in thinking there are no new stories out there.
REZilience is a new story, a perspective seldom witnessed, of genocide, identity, the power of culture and language and tradition, the importance of knowing one's self and the corruption of business and governments who have lost their way. Those who like zombie movies will walk (or run) away having seen a unique and horrific take on an oversaturated villain. Those who want to actually care for their characters will meet four young people they will feel compelled to root for. Those who are looking for "Easter eggs" and depth will find many layers to explore in this film."
-Jayson Stewart, project showrunner
