Ivan's Gift
Ivan, a solitary gunsmith with Asperger’s, lives off-grid in the hinterlands of Southern France, crafting weapons in silence for a shadowy clientele. His isolated world runs on routine and precision — until a bullet crashes through his trailer wall, and an unknown assailant tries to kill him. Acting fast, Ivan triggers a hidden trap and flees in the assassin’s car, only to discover a stowaway in the backseat — a passenger left behind by his would-be killer.Ivan’s Gift is the first chapter in the Ivan Trilogy. The second chapter, Finding Shinobi, is now completed. The final film is currently in development.
