T&T's first fea­ture-length thriller/su­per­nat­ur­al hor­ror film, 3 Line, will make its pub­lic de­but at the 2011 T&T Film Fes­ti­val on Sep­tem­ber 27 with a re­peat show­ing on Oc­to­ber 3. A true Trin­bag­on­ian prod­uct with world­wide ap­peal, 3 Line was pro­duced, shot and mar­ket­ed in T&T by young di­rec­tors Mikkell Khan and Christo­pher An­tho­ny Din Chong, both grad­u­ates of UWI's Film pro­gramme.

The fic­tion­al movie fol­lows the sto­ry of six friends be­ing preyed up­on by a fam­i­ly of sadists as they shoot an in­ves­tiga­tive doc­u­men­tary in a quaint rur­al fish­ing vil­lage. The up­com­ing thriller boasts a unique cast of es­tab­lished names in the lo­cal act­ing fra­ter­ni­ty as well as some fresh faces and up­com­ing tal­ents in the art form.

The cast in­cludes Che Ro­driguez, Con­rad Par­ris, Ti­va Lee Samaru, Jea­nine Lee Kim, Sama­ra Lal­lo, Kirk Bud­hooram, Ro­mano "Proverb" Ra­goonaths­ingh, Je­sus Thomas and Nicholas At­tin. Vet­er­an stage and screen per­son­al­i­ty Con­rad Par­ris re­ferred to his ex­pe­ri­ence in the film­ing of 3 Line as fast-paced, tight and ex­hil­a­rat­ing and laud­ed the cre­ative and pro­fes­sion­al ef­forts of Khan and Din Chong and the pos­i­tive work­ing syn­er­gy of his cast mates dur­ing this ven­ture.

"If I had on­ly one thing to take away from work­ing on this film, it would be learn­ing from Che (Ro­driguez). From work­shop to scene, there was al­ways some nugget you'd get from him to put in your ar­se­nal," Par­ris said.

En­er­getic ac­tress Sama­ra Lal­lo tru­ly em­braced her time work­ing on the 3 Line set and shared that al­though the project was fun, it chal­lenged her in her craft and al­lowed her to utilise re­al life sce­nar­ios as emo­tion­al trig­gers for her char­ac­ter's evo­lu­tion in the film.
