Interesting facts

Kidnapping Inc. is a 2024 crime comedy thriller film co-written and directed by Bruno Mourral in his directorial debut. A co-production between Haiti, Canada and France, the film stars Jasmuel Andri and Rolaphton Mercure as Doc and Zoe, two low-level gangsters in Haiti who are assigned the task of transporting the kidnapped son of presidential candidate Benjamin Perralt to their boss's headquarters, only for the plan to go awry when they accidentally kill the victim, and must set out to abduct lookalike Patrick to cover their tracks.

Production

Initial production on the film began in 2019, but had to shut down after just six weeks due to the political instability of Haiti at the time. The COVID-19 pandemic then prevented a return to production in 2020.

When production was slated to resume in 2021, it was further briefly delayed by the assassination of Jovenel Moïse, but ultimately proceeded, only to then face an incident when three members of the film's crew were themselves kidnapped.

Shooting was ultimately completed in October 2021.
