Commerical director and photojournalist Nicolai Fuglsig will helm BRASS MONKEY. The film is his own concept, a real-time kinetic thriller that takes place during a killing spree in Los Angeles. Paolo Marinou-Blanco wrote the original draft and Brian Horiuchi was recently hired to do some rewriting.
