CHAINED
PR & Marketing Consultants
We began working alongside Titus Heckel during the Vortex Media launch of his psychological thriller, Chained. This crime thriller centers on a 13-year-old abused and bullied boy, who discovers and befriends a criminal chained inside an abandoned warehouse. At first, the boy, an aspiring gardener, takes care of the chained up man, but after a violent betrayal, the young boy begins abusing his captive in order to find out where he has hidden stolen money.
The film has been nominated for multiple awards on the international film festival circuit including two award wins from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle including Best BC Feature Film.
We were brought on board to secure review outlets and coordinate interviews for both Titus Heckel and the actors featured in the film, Marlon Kazadi, and Aleks Paunovic.

We worked alongside Titus and his team to book many interviews and reviews for the film’s Vortex Media debut.
As a result of this collaboration, we were able to secure coverage through on-air radio, online platforms, video and live television interviews with the cast and director.
The film was featured in The National Observer, CBC Radio, The Georgia Straight, Vancouver Sun Province, Global News, and over 20 more unique pieces!
“It mesmerized me, I had to watch it to the end. I had to find out what was going to happen…It’s quite a compelling movie.” - Louis Hobson, CTV Calgary
