Giant Pictures, the digital film distribution division of Giant Interactive, has acquired North American digital rights for director Barry W. Levy’s female-driven cerebral sci-fi/horror movie The Shasta Triangle.
In the film, a young woman returns to her hometown to uncover the truth about her father’s disappearance. Deep in the woods, she and her childhood friends battle ancient and terrifying forces controlling the town.
The Shasta Triangle was written by Levy, who also produced the film with his filmmaking partner Helenna Santos under their Mighty Pharaoh Films banner.
The Shasta Triangle explores mystical and unsettling phenomena and touches on themes of love, loss, friendship, and sacrifice. The movie is also deeply rooted in unexplained occurrences, conspiracy theories, and fringe science. The five main characters are drawn back together for an adventure that tests the strength of their bonds, and their understanding of the world.
Never have there been more questions about what’s ‘real’ in our world, as we see in concepts like Simulation Theory, multiple dimensions, the Earth’s ley lines and hot spots, and mysterious ‘Sounds’ heard around the world,” said Levy.
Dani Lennon (The Love Witch, FEARnet’s Bite Me), Ayanna Berkshire (Twilight, NBC’s Grimm), Helenna Santos (CW’s The Flash, ABC’s The Good Doctor), Madeline Merritt (The Guest House, Auteur), and Deborah Lee Smith (Here Awhile, Last Three Days) star.
I’m a minority female in the industry with a long-time love of sci-fi and horror, specifically shows like The Twilight Zone, Supernatural, and The Magicians. I really wanted to tell a story that could live in a similar world and spotlight a diverse cast of women in a way that hasn’t been seen much in the genre. And with the current hunger for female driven narratives, The Shasta Triangle delivers a complex and compelling story,” said Santos.
The film is Produced and Executive Produced by Helenna Santos and Barry W. Levy, with Executive Producers Sean Kojoori, Deborah Lee Smith, Todd Foster, Co-Executive Producer Bill Aylesworth, Co-Producers Jason Satterlund, Deborah Lee Smith, Lex Benedict, Greg Cruser, Brian Confer, with Associate Producer David Roberson. The film was Edited by Barry W. Levy, Cinematography by Richard Galli, with an Original Score by Sean Barrett.
Giant Pictures will release The Shasta Triangle on December 3, 2019, on Digitalin the US and Canada. Check out the new trailer.
