LaVere Media, in association with DaFife Productions, is currently assisting with production on the independent film tentatively titled, "VectorZone".

The concept for "VectorZone" is based on an 80's urban legend of a notorious video game known as "Polybius". From the snopes.com urban legends page:

"This game had a very limited release, one or two backwater arcades in a suburb of Portland. The history of this game is cloudy, there were all kinds of strange stories about how kids who played it got amnesia afterwards, couldn't remember their name or where they lived, etc. The bizarre rumors about this game are that it was supposedly developed by some kind of weird military tech offshoot group, used some kind of proprietary behavior modification algorithms developed for the CIA or something, kids who played it woke up at night screaming, having horrible nightmares."

Shot completely in and around the Elmira, NY region, "VectorZone" is the first full-length feature for DaFife Productions. Writer and producer David Fife has worked on a number of independent film projects, many of which have enjoyed international distribution.

Rich LaVere from LaVere Media is serving as Director of Photography for the production, which features local actors and actresses in key roles. Locations for the film include the Elmira Heights Theater, Harris Hill, JT's Game Room in Elmira, and other local venues. A Fall 2006 release date is tentatively planned.
