Michael (played by Tacoma-raised and UW School of Drama alum Lathrop Walker) is a ghost. Living in the shadows with his new family, years away from his past life as a covert assassin, his peace and anonymity are shattered when his former employers return to bury their last surviving operative. With his truth exposed, Michael must protect his family and pursue his only chance at redemption by hunting down those behind the organization where all his sins were born.

Written and directed by award-winning commercial director (and UW alum) Ben Medina and starring Lathrop Walker (Leverage), Tabitha Bastien (The Wonderland Murders), Helena Grace Donald (Hellraiser: Judgment), and Michael Winters (Gilmore Girls, NYPD Blue), ECCO was filmed throughout the gorgeous Pacific Northwest and features an atmospheric score by Chris Morphitis.

Says Medina, "After coming back from working in New Zealand, I saw how to photograph Seattle with fresh eyes, differently than I had every seen before, and bring it to life outside the realm of it being identified as Seattle; but rather as myriad of unnamed locations that could tell the story in the most profound way, while winking at so many locations that have significant meaning and depth to me as a writer-director. Shooting in Seattle was very efficient and in meant a lot to my heart to have the opportunity to photograph it the way we did, and ideally promote the city and the community with our incredible crew."

ECCO is a singular thriller in the tradition of Drive, Hanna, and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, helmed by a visionary director about to break big. A thinking person's action film filled with cinematic signatures and unexpected plot turns, Medina is a director to watch and his feature debut will not be forgotten.
