TMDG - The Trailer

Originally created for executives at one of the largest and most respected US cable networks, GNN's trailer for The Most Dangerous Game developed into of cult hit all on its own. With its uncannily mysterious protagonists and controversial subject matter, the film looked like a good bet for a late night slot in the powerful documentary division. Especially after the network invested cash and sent some its top producers down to Tennessee to shoot the riveting medical examination that was to form the basis for the film's climax.
However, after reviewing the trailer and holding several discussions about the film's potential, GNN was told that the feature would not be financed . The reason? The subject matter was too marginal in interest for the network's core audience. Not an unrealistic conclusion. Ironically, after the network passed on the deal to develop the content into a feature film, the trailer began to circulate discreetly, among industry insiders, many of whom have commented on the high level of intrigue that is created by the trailer itself.
This page features most of the assets that were generated for the network pitch. Included among them are the original treatment written for the project as well as the interviews with both Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips, who authored TranceFormation of America, a cult hit amongst the conspiracy set. We recommend that viewers read the treatment before watching any of the video clips, as it will fill in much of what is not covered there. The interview with Dr. Colin Ross may also be of interest for those who want to delve deeper into the subject of Dissociative Identity Disorder and the viability of Cathy's claims. He is considered America's foremost expert in that realm.
GNN has put this project on hold for now. But regardless of whether the film project goes any further, it will be developed into a text-based story revolving around director Stephen Marshall's experiences researching the story and going on the road with Mark and Cathy.

THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME
GuerrillaNews.com
Film Treatment
Approach: Wide-Angle
Through the deployment of a new approach to documentary film-making, simply called X-Doc, The Most Dangerous Game seeks to embark on a journey that defies the traditional modus operandi of investigative journalism. Because we, as film-makers, understand from the outset that we may never come across a so-called smoking gun that validates Cathys story, it is imperative that we endeavor to create an experience that takes viewers into a realm beyond that of mere factual analysis.
Somewhere in between the halls of justice and the doors of perception
So that after each side of the argument has been presented, our audience has come one step closer to understanding that we are all, in some way, by some means, under a form of mind control. Whether it is imposed on us from an external source or by our own need to protect ourselves from the reality of a world that has seemingly become totally unglued. And that, whether or not they buy into Cathys depiction of a secret global dictatorship, administrated by a drug-abusive, pedophiliac core of politicians and handlers, they will have been offered a glimpse of the ways in which power exercises its will on the public-at-large.
Approach: Close-Up
The Most Dangerous Game will aspire to be, in some way, a form of homage to the complexity of the mind and all its myriad versions of reality. Just as we follow Mark and Cathy through the mezzanine layers of their story and all the characters who have assembled to corroborate its veracity, so too will our cameras lead us to those who not only doubt the validity of Trance Formation of America, but believe that its authors are involved in a major form of disinformation campaign. The following is an abridged list of potential interview subjects :
Friends of Cathy OBrien
Cathy OBrien has been telling her story in the public domain since 1994. Over the course of that period, she has amassed a relatively strong group of believers and ardent supporters. While we will film interviews with some attendees to her lectures, the main focus of our documentary will center on those who have played an active role in her mission to spread the message contained in Trance Formation of America.
Mark Phillips former intelligence operative and Cathy OBriens husband. Mark was involved in a business partnership with Cathys alleged handler/husband Alex Houston. It was after a tip-off from Chinese intelligence, he claims, that he was made aware of Cathys condition and attempted to rescue her.
Scott Rosenburg the former Tennessee state prosecutor (and current juvenile court judge) who, upon seeing the level of suspicion surrounding her case, reversed his personal position on Cathys story and came to her aid.
Larry Becraft Alabama-based federal attorney who has acted as consultant and advisor to Cathy and Mark since 1995.
Mind Control Experts
The field of mind control research is one of the most complex in the realm of clinical science. Not only are there a vast array of competing perspectives, but it has also been ascertained that some authors are actually CIA plants, working to obscure certain aspects of the Agencys mind control operation. For the purposes of The Most Dangerous Game, we have condensed our list of expert interviewees to some of the most prolific and/or highly recommended sources. Tapping their knowledge base, we will shed some light on the medical validity of Cathys alleged condition as well as the history of CIA mind control experimentation.
Dr. Colin Ross - Dissociative Identity Disorder: Diagnosis, Clinical Features, and Treatment of Multiple Personality Dr. Harvey Weinstein - Psychiatry and the CIA: Victims of Mind Control Christopher Simpson - The Science of Coercion Alan W. Scheflin and Edward M. Opton Jr - The Mind Manipulators John Marks The Search for the Manchurian Candidate Linda Hunt - Secret Agenda: The U.S. Government, Nazi Scientists and Project Paperclip Adam Parfrey Publisher: Feral House John Grinder, Richard Bandler - Tranceformations
Alleged Abusers
While the list of Cathys alleged abusers is long and incredibly detailed, we have chosen to limit the pursuit of on-camera interviews to: members of her immediate family (parents, 2 sisters and 4 brothers), her two alleged CIA handler/husbands and their families, and certain individuals whom she has accused of complicity in or knowledge about her abuse who are no longer in the military or political office. This list is long but of foremost interest will be former Department of Defense Lt. Col. (and founder of the Satanic Temple of Set) Michael Aquino and former Sandanista leader, Daniel Ortega.
Critics of Mark and Cathy
Even though Trance Formation of America has remained off the radar of mainstream media publications, there are several authors who have written extensive reports on what they consider to be lies and distortions perpetrated by the books existence. Most prolific among them is:
Martin Cannon - Project Monarch: The Tangled Web
Robert Sterling founder of Konformist.com
We will also pursue interviews with representatives of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (specifically Martin T. Orn and Ralph Underwager PhD ) and, obviously, any person named in the book who wants to comment on the story.
Official Corroboration
Finally, we will seek to procure interviews with public and private investigators who have unearthed evidence that corroborates Cathy OBriens story. Of those who we have ascertained as credible sources, the following three are most noteworthy:
John DeCamp former Nebraska State Senator and currently a federal attorney. DeCamp investigated the widespread allegations of pedophilia and Satanic trauma inflicted on children in the Omaha, Nebraska region. His book, The Franklin Cover-Up, documents the testimonies of over ten children who named major political figures as abusers.
Ted Gunderson former FBI officer and investigator of the Franklin Cover-Up who has amassed riveting documentation of U.S. intelligence agency and law enforcement complicity in the broader child abuse and trauma-based mind control networks.
Valerie Wolf a New Orleans therapist who testified with her patients (in 1995) that they had been part of an extensive CIA brainwashing program as young children their brainwashing included torture, rape, electroshock, drugs, hypnosis and death threats. They further testified that the CIA then induced amnesia to prevent their recalling anything that really happened.
Echelon a wealthy businessman who, through his own personal exposure to the program, spent seven years of his life researching and tracking a similar operation to that of Monarch. His testimony has been filmed in shadow.
Kelly OBrien - Cathys only child, Kelly, was allegedly born into a world of brutal sexual abuse and high-level mind control programming. In 1989, a year after Mark Phillips brought the Cathy and Kelly to Alaska in order to recover from the abuse of their handlers, Kelly had to be institutionalized due to a resurfacing of programming that caused deep psychological trauma as well as a form of respiratory failure. She was subsequently never released from state care. After being moved back to Tennessee, the alleged site of some of the most horrific mind control operations, Cathy fought to regain custody of her but were blocked by a judge who, they claim, stated that laws did not apply in their case due to reasons of national security.
Kelly is now living outside of the institutional environment but can still be triggered into a medical crisis at the very mention of Cathys name or through direct questioning about her alleged abusers. We have spoken to Cathy about interviewing Kelly for the documentary and while she is hesitant to bring about any further pain for Kelly, she remains open to the potential of allowing us to see her.
On the Road with Mark and Cathy
Though The Most Dangerous Game will be feature a series of well-spoken interview subjects, the spine of the film will be a hands-on investigation of Cathys claims by the documentary film crew itself. As we follow the duo through the country roads of the southern states that were home to Cathy during her alleged mind control existence, we will visit sites documented in Trance Formation of America as high-level covert drug distribution hubs, trauma-based mind control centers and the local communities where she and her daughter Kelly were kept.
And yet, even as we journey across America with them in their ominous black sedan, we will also be treading deep into the neural landscape of Cathy OBrien, herself. In fact, for the average viewer who tunes into this intrinsically unfathomable story, the only point of entry for them will be through Cathy and her recounting of what she remembers. For most, they will only be able to believe her story to the extent that it remains within their own belief threshold. Thus, The Most Dangerous Game will seek to perish the boundaries of what we have come to understand as truth and delusion by building a visual fabric unlike anything presented by a documentary film in the history of the genre.
