As of May 12, The Brøken is the only film that has been completed.[2] Lena Headey, Richard Jenkins, Asier Newman, and Michelle Duncan star in The Brøken, which was shown at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival[2] The film about a British woman who tracks down a woman who appears to be her exact double was written and directed by Sean Ellis.
After Dark Films will produce and distribute both Faithless and Perkins' 14, making these the first films that the company produced and released as part of the 8 Films to Die For.[3]
