TUCKER, Ga., May 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Since 2018, CATMEDIA has worked with Summer Hill Entertainment to facilitate distribution and announced early this year that an agreement was made with Wild Eye Releasing for the North American market (which includes the US and Canada).
Apocalypse Island is a drama surrounding a cult hidden away in the island marshes of the Deep South. It follows Cam, the Pastor's son, as he seeks to save his sister's life from a mysterious affliction. In the end, he discovers the true nature of the island he calls home, that of his father, and how unreliable the mind and memory truly are.
The film also stars Pretty Little Liars' actress Nia Peeples as Claudia, one of the film's most dynamic characters along with a riveting breakout performance by Dean Kostlich in the role of Pastor.
"After 30 years of primetime TV and films running the gamut in terms of budget, name value, and quality, it's always refreshing to step into a company of filmmakers who are fresh and imaginative, and inspired rather than jilted. The experience of enthusiasm and "dream-making" can be intoxicating. It reminds me of my beginnings." – Nia Peeples
In addition to being the company's first narrative feature film, Apocalypse Island is also a woman-produced film.
"Historically, the movie and production business has predominantly been a man's world. The fact that a small woman-owned company has been able to finance, write, and produce a movie is phenomenal. Not just produce any movie, but produce and score a full-length feature film that we are proud of."
When asked about the challenges of producing an independent film, Downey says, "Being completely independent limits you in terms of budget, but frees you in terms of how you tell your story."
William Warren, who co-wrote and directed Apocalypse Island, says the story was the culmination of two different ideas he had been working on for some time.
As a testament to such a booming film industry in Georgia, Apocalypse Island employed mostly local crew and talent and was shot on location within the surrounding Savannah and Atlanta metropolitan areas.
