Cast and crew are combat-ready to brave the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge to tell the unflinching account of two photojournalists who brave the deep jungles of war-torn Cambodia to get their story of despairing humanity during the 1972 Khmer Rouge terrorism. Based on true-life events, theirs is a journey of self-discovery that defines what it means to be a man and, moreover, a human being.
Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) June 16, 2009 - Imagine having to deactivate live land mines to prepare for film production. Despite his muscle and grit both on and off the camera, this was not a challenge that Tom Proctor and his production team ever imagined tackling. But the set is ready and the cast and crew of the epic war tale, 'The Road to Freedom' are off to the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge to tell an account of two photojournalists who brave the deep jungles of war-torn Cambodia to get their story of despairing humanity during the 1972 Khmer Rouge terrorism. Based on true-life events, theirs is a journey of self-discovery that defines what it means to be a man and, moreover, a human being.
Not since the days of 'The Man Who Would Be King' has Hollywood attempted a 'buddy story' of this magnitude and nobility. Starring Joshua Fredric Smith as Sean and Scott Maguire as Dana, 'The Road to Freedom' is a film of substance replete with movie magic, punch and panache, and with all the human feeling it takes to grip the adventure by the heart.
"The script is everything and rock solid thanks to the amazing story of director Brendan Moriarty and the artistry of screenwriters Margie Rogers and Thomas Schade," said Tom Proctor, veteran film actor and producer of 'The Road to Freedom' and who is also co-starring in the film as the existential Frenchman Francias. "Our characters are true-spine and for the lead roles of Sean and Dana, we had the good fortune to find actors who can deliver authentic, gut-wrenching performances."
Teaming with Moriarty gave Proctor the fortitude to pull off this challenging location shoot. Raised in Cambodia, Moriarty knew all the right people to help make a big budget film on a surprisingly low budget. Prison camps have been built. The Cambodian Army is playing the role of the Cambodian Army. Not to be outdone, Tom called on veteran cinematographer David Mun to pack his Red Camera package and hightail it to Southeast Asia.
"Seeing his work from 'Sons of Anarchy' and 'Grey's Anatomy' and having worked with him on two feature films, I knew Dave was the stylized shooter we needed," added Proctor. "But I also knew he had bigger projects lined up. So I threw him the same hook, line and sinker that reeled me in: the amazing script. It didn't take him long to say yes after he read it."
Production of 'The Road to Freedom' is scheduled to wrap at the end of July and expected release date of 'The Road to Freedom' is January 2010. For more information, including links to behind the scenes footage, please visit
