Mekhi Phifer, Katee Sackhoff, Mark Dacascos & John Hennigan Set For Post-Apocalypse Sci-Fi ‘Future Tense’

EXCLUSIVE: Mekhi Phifer (8 Mile) is leading cast alongside Carrie and Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff in sci-fi Future Tense, which has recently wrapped filming in Arizona.

Whiskey Panda Studios, in association with Jaguar Crest Studios and Real to Reel Capital, is producing the film directed by Josh Tessier (The Walking Dead: Webisodes/ The Sheriff) from an original screenplay by Tessier, Michael Edwards and Steven Smith.

The synopsis reads: “A brutal, post-apocalyptic world, where a conflicted interrogator battles his loyalty to a ruthless regime as he forms an unlikely alliance with a captured rebel commander.”

The film also stars Mark Dacascos (John Wick: Chapter 3), WWE’s John Hennigan, Douglas Vermeeren, Gui DaSilva-Greene and Michael Edwards (Terminator 2: Judgement Day).

Devanny Pinn is producing through her new production company Jaguar Crest Studios alongside Brady Hallongren and Josh Tessier who produce for Whiskey Panda Studios. Justin L. Anderson also serves as producer and co-producers are Joe Perez, Nick Stanner and Joe Foley. The film is executive-produced by Josh Tessier, Brady Hallongren, Michael Edwards and Alla Kesser.

The production was filmed throughout the Globe, Arizona area with the support of the Arizona Commerce Authority’s Office of Film and Digital Media.

“Future Tense pits the enduring resilience of the human spirit against absolute corporate dominance in a post-apocalyptic tomorrow that feels terrifyingly close,” said director Josh Tessier.
