Together, they have worked with U2's Bono, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ben Harper, Air, Death in Vegas, Gomez, Cracker, Foo Man Choo, Death Ray, PJ Olsen, and Joseph Arthur, as well as created many commercials for various Fortune 500 companies. With a gift for unique storytelling, the creative team of Coles and Salzman are well-versed in the technology of digital filmmaking, and should bring extensive experience and high-definition expertise to this motion picture production.
"Counterbalance" is a story about a successful businessman and attorney, Gregory Russell, who is faced with death on the day of his retirement when he gets stuck in an elevator with a handful of strangers. Little does he know that the people in the elevator are not just strangers, but people who have been hired by his estranged daughter, Emily-- to kill him.
Attachments and salary negotiations are also underway with Jeremy London (God and Generals) and Rachel Miner (The Black Dahlia) to play the roles of boyfriend, Matthew David and daughter, Emily Russell, respectively. Newcomer Natalie Victoria (Pirates of Caribbean 3) has been cast as the deceptive lady lead, portraying the character Laura Newcomb, alongside veteran stage actor Tad Atkinson (Oliver Warbucks in 'Annie'). Additionally, David Saxa (The Good German) will be playing the role of Tomas and the production has been rumored to have interest from the management of Peter Coyote.
