SERIES DESCRIPTION
Set in Chicago, RED MAZE is a new suspense-driven web series that follows a uniquely distressed person caught in the midst of making a risky (yet pivotal) life decision… one that will inevitably lead them down a dark and twisted path. The deeper they descend into a decision-maze of their own creation, the more dire the circumstances become. Thus making it harder and harder for them or the people in their orbit to escape. Every new decision further compounds with the last until our protagonist becomes trapped and forced to confront a hard truth about themselves. Between three and four minutes in length (30 min. total), each episode of RED MAZE builds suspense using situational tension and ends on a nail-biting cliffhanger that defies the viewer’s expectations. This further ups the stakes and the danger for our main character while keeping our audience on edge with interest and anticipation. Each new season of RED MAZE will have a different protagonist, storyline, set of circumstances and supporting cast of characters.
