“Isolation” to be released on VOD platforms on November 2nd, 2021

Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios Company and Kamikaze Dogfight announced today that they have acquired U.S. and Canadian rights for “ISOLATION.” The film is a feature-length anthology, weaving together nine standalone yet interconnected tales of terror from all corners of the world as people confront their darkest fears, in an attempt to survive an increasingly deadly pandemic. The film had its world premiere in London at FrightFest Uk 2021 and will have its North American premiere on October 15th at Screamfest LA, followed by a release on VOD platforms Friday, November 2nd, 2021.

As a narrative framework, Director and Producer, Nathan Crooker created a fictional world many months into the future that is based around the current global pandemic. All eleven filmmakers used the same unifying framework in creating their stories. The filmmakers were tasked with how to stay creative using only what was available to them at the time. They were not allowed to use Zoom or any other video conferencing services and were only allowed to use the equipment and resources they had with them when they entered into lockdown, including cast and crew, adhering to their respective COVID-19 protocols.

“ISOLATION” was directed by acclaimed director Dennie Gordon, (Jack Ryan, Legion, Hunters, Waco), horror legend Larry Fessenden (“The Last Winter,” “Habit,” “Depraved”), genre darling Bobby Roe, (“The Houses October Built 1&2”), Andrew Kasch, (“Tales Of Halloween”), Zach Passero (“Wicked Lake”) and Christian Pasquariello (“Alien Invasion: S.U.M. 1”). The anthology also give rise to powerful new voices in horror with films by Alexandra Neary (“The Innocent”), Alix Austin & Keir Siewert (“Retch”), and Kyle I. Kelley & Adam Brown (“The Music Lesson”).

The film was produced by director/producer Nathan Crooker (“Playback,” “Midnight Delivery,” “#Nofilter”), through his company Ghost Gang Productions with the help of fellow producers James P. Gannon (“Christmas Light Killer”) and Sophie Gold (“Eleanor”).

Ghost Gang Productions Nathan Crooker states “We are thrilled to be working with Gravitas Ventures and Kamikaze Dogfight in bringing this unnerving and suspenseful anthology out into the world. Making this film with the many talented directors was such a rewarding process, and I am incredibly proud of having created a story unlike anything else in the horror genre.”

Megan Huggins, Acquisitions Coordinator for Gravitas Ventures says “This bloody take on COVID-esque isolation makes us look at our own darkest fears. Using an anthology format, the various filmmakers have shown us how citizens of the world are one and the same when confronted by a terrifying outbreak… but how we survive is different.”

Adds Andrew van den Houten of Kamikaze Dogfight  “It’s always fun working with new directors and veterans to create something unique to the times we are living in.  This grouping of films brings some thought-provoking ideas to the mix in the genre and gives the audience lots to feast upon.”
