The upcoming feature film MATE is psychological thriller of mystery and suspense in the vein of MEMENTO and THE USUAL SUSPECTS.
About MATE:
In a world of corruption and deceit, two former world chess champions cross paths and are unsuspectingly drawn into a deadly game of mystery and suspense. Michael Foster and Kyle Kessler are long time archrivals in the highly competitive game of sixty-four squares. Each has staked his claim to be the best grandmaster of his time. Each has arguably been deemed the greatest chess champion to ever play the game.
Yet, beneath the surface of tactics and strategies, there is a truth that engulfs them beyond their calculated geniuses; a truth that suddenly turns their world upside down; a truth that unfolds and forces them on the run from a group of killers who have coerced them into a dangerous game of intrigue.
In the world of sixty-four squares, where lies intersect the truth, nothing is what it seems. Inside the mind of a chess king, reality is merely an illusion.
I have signed on as a co-producer and I will also have a featured appearance in the film. The press release for the full cast will be released very soon. I was a chess consultant for the off-Broadway show “Fit to Kill” back in 2005. It was a blast! I am very excited about this project and I am looking forward to being a part of this movie.
Go Susan go!
I can’t wait to see who will be in this film. Can you give us a hint?
I hate his suspense. More details please. We wanna know all the behind the scene details.
The guy looks like a Ninja 🙂
Congratulations Susan!
You are awsome!

Michael Foster and Kyle Kessler are not good names for chess players.
They’re great names. I like it.
This is quite exciting for chess. Too bad the idiots running the USCF doesn’t know how to capitalize on your skills to help the federation.
Susan,
This is nice. Congrats for your new endeavour.
Oh, how cool! I look forward to seeing the movie!
Sounds exciting. When will you start filming?
Congratulations! Hope it will be big. The chess community needs it.
Michael Foster and Kyle Kessler??
Mikhail Fosterov and Kylov Kesslerenko would be a little more realistic.
That’s so typical trying to use Russian names. Be original. Bobby Fischer doesn’t sound Russian to me. I hope the director will keep the American names. Bravo!
When will “The Box” movie be released? Is it the one with Cameron Diaz and James Marsden?
Thanks,

That’s because most of the World Championship calibre chessplayers are from Eastern Europe, numbnuts.
How many chessplayers in the top
twenty have names like “Michael Foster”?
ONE. Michael Adams.
Maybe a Scandinavian child prodigy with the name Mikka Fosterson….?!

No!No! He should be a gender confused dwarf from the Ivory Coast with the name Tobey Gooney-Goo-Goo
Wrong! He should be a steaming pile of excrement called Lafferty Von Jackhole. He has a terroble infection called Slaonitist and was thought to be an inanimate object, but was caught on film riding a trans-gendered bicycle.
I agree, ninjas don’t wear glasses..
How is this project coming along Susan?
