We were never alone…

The film was produced by Jesse Thomas Cook, John Geddes and Wiele and Executive Produced by their indie studio Foresight Features. Ejecta had its world premiere in August at the 2014 Fantasia International Film Festival.
The deal was negotiated by Sean Berney, Manager of Acquisitions from Sundance Selects/IFC Films, with Nate Bolotin of XYZ Films on behalf of the filmmakers.
