All My Friends Are Dead “follows a group of college friends as they head to the year’s biggest music festival. When they get a killer deal on an Airbnb, they waste little time celebrating their good fortune. Their weekend of partying quickly turns into a nightmare as members of the group are murdered one by one. When they realize that each of these horrific deaths corresponds to one of the seven sins, it’s only a matter of time before their number is up.”
The slasher is produced by John Baldecchi, Kirk Shaw, and Stephanie Rennie. Dominic Ianno, Sarah Donnelly, Jason Resnick, Suraj Gohill, and Dan Rubin are executive producing alongside Cinedigm’s Chris McGurk, Yolanda Macias, and Brad Miska. Cinedigm holds North American rights. The film is fully financed by Banc of California and Budding Equity, among others.
