Ledes is currently in the post-production stages of his new horror film, Foreclosure. He is currently in the editing process, and the movie will be ready for release in 2011. The theme of foreclosure as a result of economic strife, is creatively expressed in this thriller and speaks out to many who are fearful of the current economic conditions.
