120 FLOORS. 4 WALLS. 1 SECRET TRAPPED INSIDE…
Aussie director Antaine Furlong‘s exciting new film Ascendant is set to be released this April. Ahead of its arrival, we’ve got the new trailer.
The film tells the story of “young environmentalist Aria Wolf (Charlotte Best) who finds herself kidnapped and held hostage in a high-speed elevator in a 120-floor building in Shanghai. Aria holds a secret that makes her a valuable asset to many. However, she has no memory of her past, who her captors are, or what they want from her. While being pushed to her physical and psychological limits, she begins to discover that what has been hidden within her for so long is what will ultimately be her salvation.”
Filmed at Sydney’s Fox Studios and on the Northern Beaches during the pandemic, Ascendant stars Australian actress Charlotte Best (“Tidelands”), Jonny Pasvolsky (“Westworld”), and Susan Prior (The Commons). In addition, to help create the amazing world and compelling production values of Ascendant, Daydream Films assembled an incredible crew, including Producers Kristy Vernon (Drive Hard, Sweet River, Gabriel) and James M. Vernon (In Like Flynn, Hacksaw Ridge, Predestination), Cinematographer Frank Flick (Aquaman, Alien Covenant, Hacksaw Ridge), Editor Jonathan Tappin (The Lego Movie, Peter Rabbit) and Oscar.
Written by Antaine Furlong and Kieron Holland, Ascendant will be released wide and exclusively in cinemas across Australia on 8th April 2021, from Maslow Entertainment and Daydream Films International. The international release is slated for the second half of 2021.
