    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    A Native American Woman, named Tayen, is thrust into a criminal underworld when unknown assailants begin to hunt her boyfriend, Sam, over his involvement in drug trafficking.

    SYNOPSIS
    When a drug deal goes wrong along the US-Canada border, a devastating ripple effect can be felt throughout the surrounding communities. A Native American woman named Tayen, is unknowingly thrust into the middle of a deadly manhunt over her boyfriend, Sam’s, involvement as a drug trafficker. Derek Calvin, heir to a criminal pharmaceutical company and orchestrater of the catastrophic drug deal, has regimented multiple assailants to stop at nothing to ensure no witnesses survive. While Tayen battles with the emotional toll of betrayal from Sam’s actions, she must come to terms with reality and ensure her cousin, Oaks, safety. While Sam has put Tayen and Oak in the line of fire, this crucial moment requires Tayen and Sam to attempt to mend their relationship for the sake of their lives. Thus, culminating in a distinct night of tragedy at the Bombay Diner.

    BOMBAY is as short action/thriller film in the spirit of feature films such as Collateral and The Place Beyond the Pines. BOMBAY offers a completely original take on what an action film can be, while simultaneously exploring intimate human moments that audiences from all backgrounds can connect with.
