‘Cellphone’ Exclusive Clip – Malcolm McDowell Interrupts Eerie Visions in Tech Thriller
Gravitas Ventures’ latest, Cellphone, highlights the perils and horror of technology surrounding the piece of tech we rely on most: our phones. An exclusive clip takes it a step further, with strange phenomena taking place in broad daylight.
Check out the exclusive clip below, which sees Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, 2007’s Halloween, She Will) interrupt supernatural activity with a phone call.
In Cellphone, “Wynne, who is grieving the death of her fiancé, starts seeing disturbing images on her cell phone about her future. If she doesn’t figure them out in time, she will die.”
Gravitas Ventures releases Cellphone on VOD and Digital on February 13, 2024.
Whitney Rose Pynn, Justin Malik Jackson, Jared Noble, Isaac Versaw, and Katherine Barber star alongside Malcolm McDowell in the tech thriller.
The tech thriller was written by Rachel Sommer and directed by Luke Sommer, based on their 2012 short film “Cell Phone.” Cellphone marks the feature debut for both.
In the short film that inspired the film, “friends Farren and Wynne go on a hike. They come across a very peculiar cellphone. It’s stuck in camera mode. However, they can’t view what’s currently in front of them, but rather can only see what appears to be disturbing images from their future. Carefree and adventurous Farren wants to get to the bottom of this, while cautious Wynne would rather leave the cellphone and get out of there. As the girls explore further, the images get more horrific and even become a matter of life and death.”
Rachel Sommer, Matt Sommer, and Luke Sommer produce alongside Jan Sommer.
Out today in select theaters and on digital platforms is heartfelt and playful documentary Mockbuster, which sees a director cold call a studio and ask to helm a lost-world dinosaur epic.
Inexplicably, they say yes.
Our exclusive clip below highlights both the comedic nature of this bizarre scenario as well as the pressures of shooting dino feature The Land That Time Forgot in a mere six days, with no real feature experience.
A dino attack scene causes friction on set in this scene.
In the documentary, “A struggling filmmaker’s opportunity collides with chaos and compromise when Sharknado’s notorious studio, The Asylum, invites him to direct a ‘mockbuster.’ With six days, a micro budget, and mounting pressure, Mockbuster is a comedic, behind-the-scenes documentary exploring the balance between low-budget filmmaking and creative ambition.”
More than just an inside look at filmmaking via low-budget film studio The Asylum, it doubles as one man’s pursuit of his dreams to charming, humorous effect.
“Mockbuster is a documentary about my own journey, but it’s also a love letter to one of the last grindhouses still functioning in Hollywood. We get to meet the characters and creators of some of the most infamous (and most hated) B-movies of the last few decades. People who make movies purely for profit – no pretension, no artistry, just monsters, C-listers, and chaos. A film that both genre fans and cinephiles can enjoy. But Mockbuster isn’t just about filmmaking, it’s about losing sight of your dreams, and reclaiming them in your own twisted way,” Director Anthony Frith said in a statement.
From Executive Producer and famed documentarian David Farrier, Mockbuster opens in select theaters and on digital platforms beginning July 10.
