Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, has just announced the release date for the indie, post-apocalyptic thriller Stronghold, written and directed by Julia Camara.
Stronghold is a dystopian tale of resilience in which a young survivalist and her mother live isolated entirely in the woods. When a distressed stranger appears, their lives and future are threatened.
The film stars Bianca A. Santos (The Fosters, Legacies, Ouija, Priceless, The Duff), Jaqueline Fleming (Don’t Look Back, Red, Atone) as the familial pair in peril, and Oliver Rayón (Room for Rent, The Chosen, Doc Holliday’s Revenge) as the stranger who threatens the isolated duo.
The deal was brokered by Gravitas VP of Acquisitions, Bill Guentzler, and Jeffrey Cooper, Owner of Cut Entertainment Group.
Santos is managed by Liz Wagner at The Rosenzweig Group and repped by Saskia Delp-Kullock at Global Artists Agency. Fleming, an African American and Danish native, is handled by Kevin Turner at Daniel Hoff Agency, Cindy Hill at Gravity Hill Agency, and Literary manager Adam Robinson at Rain Management Group. Rayón, who hails from Mexico, is repped by Thom Milam at People Store and managed by Gina Rugolo.
Executive Producers include Suzette Saffold, T. Bankolé, Jaqueline Fleming, Ken Mask, Greg Ward, and JAQ Entertainment Group.
Stronghold, which made its World Premiere at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, is set to come home on August 1, 2023, from Gravitas Ventures.
