Liam (Diego Klattenhoff) wakes from a car crash at the bottom of a deep ditch with no memory of who he is. As he makes his way into town, he discovers that anyone who comes within a 50-foot radius of him dies instantly. Out of options, he tries to live in seclusion to protect others, until the day a woman comes up to him and doesn’t die in his presence. With her arrival, Liam’s murderous power now seems to have subsided. The woman, Jane (Charlotte Sullivan), is also amnesiac and looking for answers. Together, they embark on a journey to uncover who they are and what happened to them on the night of the accident.
Starring Diego Klattenhoff (THE BLACKLIST, HOMELAND) and Charlotte Sullivan (ROOKIE BLUE, CHICAGO FIRE), this inventive thriller explores a unique, yet haunting idea: a man whose radius is deadly. Directors Caroline Labrèche and Steeve Léonard’s impressive execution of this potent mix of science fiction, mystery, and humanity earned the film critical acclaim during its festival run, which included FrightFest, Fantastic Fest, Fantasia Film Festival, and many more.
COMING ATTRACTIONS: THOROUGHBREDS: Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily has turned into a polished, upper-class teenager, with a fancy boarding school on her transcript and a coveted internship on her resume; Amanda has developed a sharp wit and her own particular attitude, but all in the process of becoming a social outcast. Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily’s contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another’s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.Writer/Director: Cory Finley
