Theme and Style

Many action movies are only about the action, with little or no story. We didn't want to make another superhero action movie that was solely about good vs evil. Our goal was to develop a character-focused thriller that will be a cinematic experience. Think character driven stories similar to Unbreakable and Joker. We took our time to ensure that every single character seemed genuine, with genuine goals and feelings—all without resorting to clichés.

Visual Style

The films narrative delves into the complexities of its characters, exploring their inner struggles, moral dilemmas, and the nuanced interplay of good and evil. Additionally, we aim to infuse the film with a gritty, more realistic feel akin to Matt Reeves' The Batman. This approach not only distinguishes our film from typical superhero fare but also aligns with contemporary audience preferences for grounded, introspective storytelling. Our goal is to captivate viewers with rich character development, thought-provoking themes, and a raw, authentic atmosphere, offering a fresh and compelling take on the superhero genre.

Meet Janette Drake

This film is a collaborative effort, deeply inspired by the real-life experiences of Janette Drake. She'd always been a loving and supportive person to those around her but it started to come at a cost to her own happiness and success. In her late twenties, her life began to crumble, causing her to loose everything she'd work so hard for. It wasn't until her life began to crumble that she began to realize her giving nature was one sided, as it was hardly ever reciprocated. It was at that point that she recognized who wasn't truly supportive and that in order to propel herself, she had to quit being everyone's hero. She will star in Until the Very Last Page as Ravyn Ross / Luna Knight.

Distribution Plan

We have established relationship with a distribution companies through the release of our previous projects, and they have already given us a letter of intent for this one. We don't predict having any trouble going worldwide and distributing on platforms like Amazon Prime, Roku, Tubi and so forth. But before we go on any of those streaming platforms, we want to start by giving the film a festival run to give us the best chance of success.

Websites like FilmFreeway are a great starting point for submitting to film festivals, but the best way to begin a festival journey is with the aid of a sales agent. 

Sales agents often have long-standing relationships with festival programmers and directors. These relationships can provide the film with a better chance of being noticed and considered for selection. 

Festival programmers are more likely to take a submission seriously when it comes from a reputable sales agent.

Festivals will enable us to:

• Builds Credibility - Winning awards validates the brand of filmmakers, gives uniqueness, gains the trust of the target audience, and gives filmmakers promotional leverage.      
• Exposure - Festivals are the best way for filmmakers to gain exposure.   
• Networking - Allows filmmakers the opportunity to network with other filmmakers, distributors, agents and talent scouts which can open industry doors.
