For most people the Robocop movie franchise presents entertaining films that are action packed with violence and extreme gore. But for one resident of Poughkeepsie, New York the movie offers a lesson on how to become a serial killer. Nathaniel White has an appetite for the brutal on-screen violence. He searches the streets and bars for easy prey. Once he has picked his target, he hides his true desires and uses his charms to lure the victim in. Once they feel safe and secure, he switches and becomes the movie villains that he admires, killing just like they did in the films.
The world as we know it has been damaged by a Japanese asteroid hand crafted and detonated by the infamous and ruthless GENERAL HAIKI.
What if the drugs, violence and mayhem you were involved in landed you in jail? If given a fresh start would you change your life? What about your past? How far would you go to protect your secrets? Or who will you sacrifice to keep your secrets buried?

It was an amazing experience working with actress Jamila Bishop, she brought so much diversity and quality to our production as a supporting character in her role as soldier one. All of our cast needed to do a crash course on martial art combat training, it was very intense and required a lot commitment, Jamila rose to the auction. I would love to hire her again for other opportunities.

I have worked with Jamila for several years on the set of the stage play Sunday Brunch. She always has a positive attitude, she's very confident and a whole lot of fun to work with.

She has a beautiful personality she is determined and focused on her goals and I wish her much success in all her endeavors.

I have had the privilege of working with Jamila Bishop in both Theater and Film. She is truly a gem on and off set. She is always on time and prepared. Every chance she gets she is assisting anyone in every capacity she can be of assistance. Jamila not only goes above and beyond to execute her performance but she does it with a sense of geuiness making each role she portrays appear to have been written with her in mind. Jamila is a kind spirited young lady that encourages and supports her fellow cast mates every step of the way. You can always count on her for a good laugh, a positive vibe and sincerity. Anyone that has the opportunity to work with her will say, "Jamila Bishop is a God-sent!"
