Displacement in Theatres and On Demand!

April 28, 2017 we had our LA Theatrical Premiere at the Laemmle Monica in Santa Monica complete with red carpet, popcorn, and Q&A.

It was great to see everyone again! Two years after filming wrapped and a year spent in the festival circuit, everyone had wonderful stories of what they had been up to… and the Besana twins are all  grown up! Check out these pics from our red carpet.

The film opens in Chicago May 12 at the historic Logan Theatre! In the Windy City? Get tickets here!

Not in the Windy City? Displacement is also available on Amazon Prime, iTunes, and Google Play, with DVD coming next month.

Finally, here are some fun red carpet interviews with Kenneth Mader, Courtney Hope, Bruce Davison, Susan Blakely, and more!

Happy Birthday Displacement

We started the journey to Displacement 4 years ago today.  It was a rare, rainy and cold day in the LA area, but that didn’t stop us from moving ahead.  We spent the day inside Wiznu Studio filming some of the most critical scenes of Cassie (Courtney Hope) and Dr. Miles (Sarah Douglas) in The Initiative.

What a journey it’s been since then!  It may have taken over 2 years to film, but it took us no time at all to get Displacement into some film festivals, including the Downtown LA Film Festival, the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival, the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, the Phoenix Film Festival, and the USA Film Festival.  We were honored with awards such as Best Science Fiction Film and Best Supporting Actor for Bruce Davison.

We rounded out our luck in 2016 with a deal that put Displacement on the Lifetime Movie Network and in homes across the US.  We also got an international distribution deal so we can be seen all over the world, with more deals to announce very soon.

We want to thank all of our cast and crew and and partners for all their hard work and dedication and support over the last 4 years!  Thank you for making Displacement possible!

And thank you to our fans!  We can’t wait for you to see what is next.

Onward and upward!

Congrats, Courtney!

See a familiar face on TV lately?  Yes, that is Courtney Hope staring as Sally Spectra on the Bold and the Beautiful. Since her start on the show in late January we have seen her have a food fight, her face smashed in cake, and it looks like she filmed a few scenes down under in Sydney. Congratulations, Courtney!  We can’t wait to see more!

DISPLACEMENT FESTIVAL TOUR RECAP!

Hello again everyone!

So as we prepare for a trip to Nashville and the FILM-COM Development, Financing and Distribution Market, we thought we’d give you a recap of the whirlwind that has been the last few months criss-crossing the country on our national Film Festival Tour. 

Most recently we were in Dallas for the USA Film Festival, where the fest also presented a tribute to our amazing cast member Bruce Davison, and both he and our star Courtney Hope appeared on local news programs promoting the film. Scroll down to check it all out below:

      

North Texas actress Courtney Hope talks about her new movie at the USA Film Festival.

Bruce Davison and Courtney Hope stop by Daybreak to talk about ‘Displacement’ which screens Saturday at the 46th annual USA Film Festival.

Prior to that we were an Official Selection in the Phoenix Film Festival, where Mr. Mader was invited to join a Director’s panel along with an educational outreach seminar.

         

Our West Coast Premiere was February 19, 2016 (on the 3-year anniversary of the start of filming!) in the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, where we won the award for Best Science Fiction Film and Best Supporting Actor for Bruce Davison, plus were nominated for their People’s Choice Audience Award!

    

Two weeks before that we screened in the Boston Science Fiction Festival (brrrrrrrrrrrrr) where we took home their Chrononaut Time Travel Award for outstanding time travel film!

                        

It’s been a wild ride, and we’ve only just begun! We are currently negotiating with major distributors as we now have multiple offers on the table for a North American and Worldwide release later this year, and will be scheduling more screenings in the weeks and months ahead. CLick here to join our mailing list and be the first to reserve your copy of the film, hear about screenings in your area, and more. Or you can book your own hometown screening! More info here.
