The film centers around a fragile balance that exists between humankind and the demons who secretly live among them, and the crisis for all when this balance is broken. Shum plays an abusive alcoholic boyfriend, who suddenly transforms into a caring loving person, along with the rest of the humans in this seedy tenement building. Dependent on human misery for survival, the demons in the building begin to starve.
Writer-producers, Brian Lubocki and Michael Hayes successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign for the film in August 2013 and will go into production this month.
The other half of Amalgamated, Alec Gillis, meanwhile, is currently directing Harbinger Down in Los Angeles.
