“Wes Craven, who I worked with before his passing, once told me ‘a good horror story can find humor in the most scary moments’ I believe writer/director Brandon Murphy does a fantastic job in adding a humorous touch to the film’s darker themes that makes the film an enjoyable ride,” said executive producer Andrea Chung.
“It’s been a cathartic journey to find a home for the film to honor Brandon’s memory and celebrate the incredible work the entire cast and crew put into his directorial debut,” said producer Rachel Michiko Whitney.
“Gravitas is excited to be bringing the story the mysterious ski resort town of Snow Valley to viewers worldwide. With an impressive ensemble cast and exciting scenes and atmosphere written and directed by Brandon Murphy, we believe audiences will be thrilled by what is uncovered,” stated Bill Guentzler, Vice Present of Acquisitions.
