P.I. DANGEROUS
(Short Film)

Synopsis: On
the streets of Chicago, a lone man exacts justice
wherever possible. Self-nicknamed "P.I.
Dangerous" after a police captain's insistance
that "P.I.'s are nothing but dangerous,"
and who was once a dedicated private investigator
himself, Michael A. Flossman, has run a long road
of crime-fighting without the aid of a badge. An
extensive gallery of friends and allies have
helped him to re-enforce what a hero is. However,
he has never mended his rocky relationship
with his younger brother Matthew sparked by the
accidental death of their parents when they were
young. Now, Michael targets a corrupt and
dangerous police detective while running down
the black market perscription drugs and narcotics
smuggling of a major pharmaceuticals company. On
these streets, justice wears no mask, and could
not be more dangerous.

A Note From Nicholas J. Michalak:
P.I. Dangerous was intended to be RavensFilm Productions' giant
leap forward in production quality and scope after the successful
completion of
Dead of Night in 2009. However, despite assembling
a large and very passionate crew ready to kick ass, and an immensely
talented cast sold on my enthusiasm and leadership skills, a few
vital cogs in the production team fell through due to either other
professional commitments or personal life turbulences. The production
could not move forward without these individuals, and thus, production
took a sharp crash and burn nose dive. A brief attempt was made to
restart things in August of 2010, but it became merely a flash in
the pan after cinematographer Eric Woltman's Sony camcorder was accidentally
damaged, leaving us with no camera to shoot with. Ultimately,
P.I.
Dangerouswas attempted at the wrong point in time for some people,
and while the screenplay remains very solid and generally quite filmable,
it is the production values involved that made things more difficult
to move forward on it. Regardless, a teaser trailer and one complete
scene have been officially released, and you can watch them in 1080p
high definition below. A few additional snippets of footage can be
viewed in the 2009, 2011, & 2013 RavensFilm Productions Promo Reels.
