Los Angeles, CA, May 07, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Actor and screenwriter Ernie Rivera has announced development progress on Citadel Lost, a feature-length psychological action-thriller, currently entered into major screenwriting competitions including the Austin Film Festival, Slamdance, and the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards.
Citadel Lost follows a war-hero-turned-super-soldier who must confront a traumatic legacy when his family is targeted inside a remote military bunker. Drawing comparisons to grounded genre fare such as Logan and The Exorcist, the screenplay blends elements of action, psychological drama, and character-driven storytelling. (These comparisons reflect feedback from early readers and coverage evaluations.)
In addition to festival entries, Rivera is preparing a self-financed proof-of-concept short, scheduled to shoot on June 14, 2025 in Los Angeles. The short will coincide with a broader campaign that includes multiple teasers, a staged theatrical monologue, and social media rollout across YouTube, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Rivera is also undergoing a documented physical transformation to portray the film’s lead character, Jacob Marcos.
The project has received early media coverage and Rivera has released a comprehensive pitch deck outlining the project’s broader potential—including serialized expansion and stage adaptation. The screenplay is also currently listed on The Black List and receiving ongoing industry evaluations.
