TomKat Media and Killer Films Forge Creative Alliance to Produce Impactful Stories

In a significant move, TomKat Media and Killer Films have announced a creative alliance that will see the two companies collaborate on several high-profile projects. Under the new pact, TomKat will provide development funding for various Killer Films projects, while Killer will co-produce select TomKat films.

Among the projects in the works is an adaptation of Duff Wilson's Pulitzer-finalist eco-thriller "Fateful Harvest," penned by Daniel Stiepleman. Based on a Seattle Times investigative series, the film will tell the story of Patty Martin, the mayor of a small Washington town, who uncovers that American industries are dumping toxic waste into farmers' fields and home gardens, labeling it as "fertilizer."

Another intriguing project is "Box No. 1," a feature drama about the cover-up of love letters between former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and journalist Lorena "Hick" Hickok. TomKat's Marcela Davison Aviles is scripting this compelling story.

The partnership between the two production companies aims to bring underrepresented, impactful stories to a broad audience, sharing uplifting projects that explore themes of resilience, courage, and love. As Killer Films' co-president Christine Vachon noted, "Killer and TomKat share a common mission to bring underrepresented, impactful stories to the big screen."
