A Terrifying PRESENCE Haunts a Luxury Yacht, and Docks Everywhere November 17th
The eerie, unsettling festival favorite is primed to
strike nationwide VOD from XYZ Films
XYZ Films is pround to announce that Christian Schultz’s PRESENCE will land on North American VOD on November 17th, following a thrilling festival run that included Popcorn Frights and Panic Fest.
After leaving New York after a mental breakdown, Jennifer (The Kominsky Method’s Jenna Lyng Adams) is contacted by her best friend about good news concerning their joint business venture. Within the hour, Jennifer is boarding a private plane and walking down the dock to a billionaire’s private yacht.
All seems well, except that Jennifer is plagued by violent, unsettling visions. Is her unchecked anxiety attempting to self-sabotage her once again… or has a sinister presence latched onto her?
Directed by Christian Schultz from a screenplay co-written with Peter Ambrosio, the film is produced by Donny Broussard, Thomas Johnston, Isaiah LaBorde, Murray Anthony Roth, and John Paul Summers. The ALLaBorde Films production stars Jenna Lyng Adams (The Kominsky Method), Dave Davis (The Vigil), and Alexandria DeBerry.
Says XYZ Films’ EVP of US Distribution James Shapiro, “Presence is a smart and complex adult thriller that is perfect for date night. It’ll have everyone at the edge of their seats and we’re really excited to be partnering with Christian to get his film out to audiences!”
