The Devil Exclusive June 5, 2018
"Every great script begins with phenomenal writing. The original script of The Devil's Exclusive, written by Jeff Dunne - this guy is a combination of Stephen King, Alfred Hitchcock, Charles William, and Rod Serling, with a touch of Dashiell Hammet and a dash of Jeffery Dever. He is rare gem with an amazing imagination. Thank you Jeff for allowing Black Carpet Productions and PreeVision Films to bring your vision to the screen."
