DENIERS

SENSITIVE JOHNSON PRODUCTIONS - as PROD

Horror - Development 2025

What would disaster films be like if the characters did not believe in the premise that was about to kill them?

Deniers centers around a fact-fluid cable news station. When people are led down conspiracy rabbit holes, their lives can become twisted and dangerous. And, thus, hilarious.

  The NFN News Channel pushes science-denying propaganda at its audience, because, well, there’s a market for it. Their aim is to confuse common sense.
  
  If the conversation is about the law of gravity, who is to say it’s a law? Was Newton an attorney? No!
  
  ERIN is a smart and grounded rookie reporter who lands a job a NFN News. She knows their reputation, but she needs a job, so she’s willing to bend the truth a little - what’s the harm? Soon she slips deep into conspiracy belief. Erin changes from a person who believes that the world is a logical, fact-based reality to someone who fully embraces the alternative facts that she is subjected to on a daily basis.
  
  ROGER is the executive producer at NFN. An evil media mastermind, willing to spew disinformation to the world through his news network because it attracts eyeballs and brings money. To him lying is just an alternative narrative and manipulation is how he controls.

She finds that it is true, but in order to keep her job she interviews a Costume store owner to prove its all fake. Peter and Cindy are bitten by a zombie and start turning into the monsters they always have been.
