San Francisco tour guide Lawrence Young gets in over his head when he picks up a foreign prince with a national scandal lurking in the shadows. Contour (aka “The Agent“) was filmed originally in 2004 on a shoestring budget. It was first released direct to consumer in a “black and blue“ DVD edition with a runtime of 1 hr 40 mins with a matte box crop for optimal display on CRTs. It was later released by Indican as “Contour“ with some color correction, then as “The Agent“ with a significant number of edits. This version is the original cut of the film, which is now uncropped. There is minimal color correction, and it's been uprezzed to 4K, with all the slomo fixed, by @WhirlwindAction. Fun facts: production lasted nearly an entire year, with over 60 days alone dedicated to the final set piece; the budget for Contour was so low that most of us wore ski masks to play as random thugs in each other’s fight scenes; and everyone sustained at least one serious injury during production. In today's entertainment landscape, when high fidelity digital video and artificial intelligence make it difficult to know reality from fiction, Contour is a breath of fresh air. It's as real as they come.
