Synopsis
Gunnar Malstrom, leader of the terrorist group Pendulum, initiates Operation Nightfall, a plot against the U.S. government that the IMF must thwart. Casey uses a romantic relationship with Malstrom to lure him into a job offer at World Resources Ltd., an IMF front company, while the IMF employs a hidden polygraph to uncover Pendulum's plan to assassinate a general and later attack the Chiefs of Staff. With the help of a planted transmitter, the IMF learns the true extent of the threat and prevents the attack.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
