Red Line (2012 film)

The film is noteworthy for its inception as a class project and for using student interns from John Paul the Great Catholic University as a majority of the production crew.

Screenwriting student Tara Stone pitched a World War II period thriller about people who are trapped together in a wine cellar during the London Blitz and begin to suspect that a Nazi spy is among them.

Upon the advice of Chris Riley and director Rob Kirbyson, also a professor at the school, the script was changed during the writing process to become a contemporary piece set in the subway system of Los Angeles.

While the movie incorporated on-location shooting at Hollywood and Highland subway station, most of the film was shot in a 1,200 square foot soundstage[4] at John Paul the Great Catholic University's initial campus in Scripps Ranch, San Diego, California.

"[11] Nav Qateel of 1nfluxMagazine said, "the direction by Robert Kirbyson was also solid, as he managed a decent pace, keeping it interesting and edge-or-your-seat from pretty much the getgo, not letting up till the very end," and called it "a fine example of what can be achieved by small studios on a budget, when they are determined enough to get the job done.
