UNREST

THE COST OF MEDICAL SCHOOL COULD BE YOUR LIFE.

Unrest is the brainchild of Jason Todd Ipson, MD, who is making his feature directorial debut with this project. For Unrest, Ipson, who attended USC-Cinema Television School and successfully crossed over from surgery to directing in 1999 , has taken the familiar elements of the horror genre and combined them with his knowledge of the world of medical students to create an intelligent, stylish medical thriller that explores the issues around mortality and the separation of body and soul. Using a real hospital and morgue as its principal settings, Unrest tells the story of four medical students in a Gross Anatomy Lab that find themselves dealing with the vengeful spirit of one of the cadavers they have been assigned to dissect.

Director Jason Todd Ipson Talks Unrest
(PRWEB) November 24,2005 - Sci-Fi Talk host Tony Tellado chats with Director Jason Todd Ipson about his latest film, Unrest.“I went to medical school in Salt Lake City, Utah. There was a rotation that we did at the VA Hospital which was terrifying. Literally there are tunnels that go underneath this hospital that would go for 1.6 miles. During med school, you would walk around these tunnels at two or three in morning, where there is nobody around. I always thought it was the perfect location to do a movie. Now was the time to do a horror film that takes in my background. I set out to do this project based on the location.I built this project on the basis of being in that hospital and the creepiness and what the medical students went through there. It’s about four medical students that are going through a Gross Anatomy class and are haunted by the spirit of the cadaver that they are working on.”
