The Death Sentence

"When a burnt-out TV reporter chasing a glittering Hollywood cult that promises "certainty" is plunged into a viral nightmare, she must expose the charismatic star and his blood-soaked spectacle or become the next scripted death watched by millions."

Told entirely through frantic found footage, THE DEATH SENTENCE follows hard‑nosed investigative reporter Jessica Chen, her camera‑obsessed producer Miguel, and a fame‑hungry PA named Tyler as they infiltrate Las Palabras, a glamorous, Mayan‑inspired Hollywood cult led by charismatic actor Doug Jones and his uncanny twins, Oro and Plata. As Jessica chases a viral story about a ritual that grants followers the “death sentence”, a written prophecy of their final words, reality unravels: live streams, sabotaged sets, and horrific accidents blur performance and prophecy into murderous spectacle. Equal parts conspiratorial thriller and dark satire of fame culture, the found‑footage screenplay ratchets paranoia, voyeurism, and dread into a hallucinatory hunt for truth that may cost them everything.
