The Unexpected is a 2022 American drama short film written and directed by Remi Adeleke. The film stars Kerry Lynne McHugh, Justin Garza, John Wilcox, Raelin Searcy, and Jorge M. Roman.
Based on true events, two victims tell a story about terrorism's link to human trafficking and organ harvesting.
The film was shot in August 2021 in Kansas City, Missouri, including Kansas City International Airport, which doubled for an airport in Venezuela, and a farm in Louisburg that was made to look like Peru. It was Adeleke's directorial debut.
The film was presented at the Cannes Market by Lon Haber & Co. and released on YouTube by Adeleke on September 30, 2022.
Set five years later, Adeleke wrote a feature length script that was in development as an action thriller film. It premiered in 2022 at the Toronto International Film Festival.
