Canadian genre specialist Raven Banner Entertainment has closed deals on Filipino action thriller Trigger, Mongolian horror Aberrance and Filipino zombie feature Day Zero.
Trigger, directed by Richard Somes (We Will Not Die Tonight) and starring Arjo Atayde, has pre-sold to Lighthouse for German-speaking territories and is tipped for notable festivals later this year. The film stars Atayde as a discharged veteran with PTSD who becomes embroiled in a different kind of war when a drug peddler seeks his protection from a vigilante death squad.
Mongolian horror Aberrance is Baatar Batsukh’s feature debut and has sold to Freestyle for the US. The film, which recently played at SXSW, is about an estranged couple that travels to the woods only to be confronted by dark forces. The film follows a former elite military soldier who breaks free from prison to find his family after a zombie epidemic.
