SOLITARY is a raw and authentic prison drama centered on Marcus Edwards, a man who has spent more than 20 years in solitary confinement. Moved by Marcus’s story, Elsa, a young human rights lawyer looking to make a name for herself in her field, offers to represent him in his effort to be released from the SHU (Special Housing Unit) and serve out the remainder of his sentence among the general prison population.
As Marcus recounts his grueling experiences in solitary, Elsa begins to wonder if she is in over her head. Graphic tales of self-mutilation, frightful hallucinations, and extreme mental anguish overwhelm her.
Through vivid flashbacks, the harsh realities of solitary confinement and the surprising reasons individuals are placed in it will be brought to the forefront. As audience members follow Elsa on her journey to get to know Marcus and to fight for his release from solitary confinement, they will come to understand why the United Nations calls long-term solitary confinement torture. The mental, physical, and emotional toll it has taken on Marcus dominates the show.
Every aspect of SOLITARY will be based on real incidents. Only by humanizing Marcus, and the tens of thousands he represents, can we create empathy for him. As audience members empathize with Marcus, their understanding of solitary confinement will increase, particularly regarding its cruelty and ineffectiveness. Increased understanding is critical if we are to end the practice of long-term solitary confinement.
Ramon Hamilton and Jennifer Fischer have been a producing duo for over 10 years. Their most recent film as producers, SMUGGLED’s successful film festival run in 2012 included 5 “Best Of” Awards and 15 official selections.

SMUGGLED tells the moving story of 9 year-old Miguel Rodriguez and his mother, Hilaria Rodriguz, as the pair are smuggled into the U.S. in the small, hidden compartment of a tourist bus. Most of the film takes place in the tiny compartment, but the film completely engages audiences with moments of laughter and tears, ultimately creating empathy and love for the lead characters.

GRANDMA’S HOUSE received acclaim at several film festivals in the U.S. and Europe winning the award for Most Disturbing Film at the Chicago International REEL Shorts Fest.
