In SERIAL: Amoral Uprising the creator, writer and director K.M. Jamison introduces us to his fictional character Trenton Wade Bracks and his nihilistic world by giving us an indication of how and when things started to go wrong. SERIAL: Amoral Uprising is a 58 minute introduction film that will begin to guide us though the progression and development of a serial killer’s life profile one step at a time, similar to a televised biography of an American criminal. Already an accustomed victim of a physically and mentally violent upbringing, raised by an abusive and sharp-tongued junkie mother along with a weak father who never took a stand until it was too late are just a small portion of the character’s downward spiral. In this early version of K.M. Jamison’s SERIAL film series we see through the eyes of both a young Trenton with sadness and despair as well as an older Trenton fresh out of jail with a nonchalant sense of reckless behavior.

Since its premiere in July of 2009, SERIAL: Amoral Uprising has begun looking towards distribution of the fifty-five minute film by a number of separate companies after receiving a handful of positive reviews of the film from various writers who all were in agreement that the film was worthy of achieving distribution on a massive scale. In order to begin producing the film in hopes of finding distribution, K.M. Jamison and Jim Bett Jr. began to send the film to a variety of established online writers. Between 2009 and 2010, SERIAL: Amoral Uprising has gained positive reviews from fans and workers in the film industry on websites such as Horrorsociety.com, SHU-IZMZ.com, Horrorland.com, Horrornews.net, Horroryearbook.com and the well known Deadpit.com who were able to give the film a glowing review during a live internet based radio broadcast. On Bloody-Disgusting’s “BD-TV” section where videos are posted by independent filmmakers, fans, website administrators and the like; the official trailer for SERIAL: Amoral Uprising was able to gain recognition as the number one fan voted selection for a solid six months. The exposure alone was enough to attract the attention from additional industry based websites such as Arrowinthehead.com, Fatally-Yours.com, DreadCentral.com and even a few non-horror related websites such as Backstage.com and a small mention on USA-Today’s official website. Read below to see what a few people have been saying about the film.

“Trenton Wade Bracks never had a chance.” | Mitchell Wells – Horrorsociety.com

“The film itself is fictional, it goes elastic on your ass and stretches your imagination to make it feel like a real life documentary about a serial killer.” | John Pattison – Horrorland.com

“Serial: Amoral Uprising has a lot to offer through character and story, but it does a lot with its low budget as it stands out stylistically as well.” | Kelsey Zukowski – Horroryearbook.com

“Writer/director Jamison took what was obviously a very small budget to work with and crafted a very entertaining story and packed it all into a short time frame. It has the obvious nods to other stories that came before it; and a gritty, dirty, graphically realistic feel to it in the tradition of the classic HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER.” | Bonedigger – Horrornews.net

Currently the film is going through the process of DVD replication of the product which will include the fifty-five minute film, behind the scenes footage, commentary by the cast and crew, a gallery of production images from the set, cast interviews and a selection of video media connected to both SERIAL: Amoral Uprising & the SERIAL promo piece to show the viewers how much we have done with two years’ worth of hard work on the project. The film will be shown in 2011 by means of film festivals, independent film conventions in hopes of being able to have the product seen by a massive and diverse audience. The film will also be available for purchase through a stand alone website that is due for release in November of 2010.
