Synopsis
WHEN YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY HAVE TO GET THERE… ALIVE
Switch & Bait is penned by acclaimed writer Russell Gewirtz (“Inside Man” starring Denzel Washington).
The story opens as a seemingly naïve call girl escapes the clutches of a notorious gangster with a cell phone containing all his secrets. A ‘tough-rough’ female cop (played by Otmara Marrero), who may or may-not be crooked, is given the job to “get the ‘witness’ to Detroit, on time and in one piece” to testify. In the traditions of ‘Midnight Run’ and ‘Thelma & Louise’, this fast paced, action-packed chase across the country is full of gunfights, double cross and new found respect. We discover that not everyone is who they say they are. The question is… who is actually pulling the strings.
Directed by Michelle Salcedo with Otmara Marrero (Start-Up/Clementine) and Katie Clarkson-Hill (Hanna/London Heist) leading a fabulous ensemble cast, which includes Berto Colon, Fedja Stukan, Langston Fishburne and Stoan Maslev.
