Random Media has acquired the world rights to Black Stallion Productions’ LGBTQ coming-of-age drama film THE EXPERIENCE starring Allison Kove (Rotten), Ava Capri (Little Rituals) Shawn Christian (Days of Our Lives), Lou Ferrigno Jr. (CBS’ S.W.A.T), Sabina Gadecki (Entourage), along with Brigitte Nielsen (Beverly Hills Cop II) and Gordon Thomson (Dynasty). The film will release in theaters, DVD and on-demand November 5^th.

Written and directed by Katerina Gorshkov, in her feature film directorial debut, THE EXPERIENCE is set against the unique backdrop of a ‘tough love’ wilderness program for the wayward children of the elite upper class. The Experience examines the life of Scarlet (Allison Kove), a teenage girl whose ongoing behavior – partying, piercings and suicide attempts – have landed her at ‘The Hills of Heaven’ wilderness camp, where she begrudgingly hauls a forty-pound backpack in the sweltering heat of an arid hilly backcountry. When a mysterious girl named Dillion (Ava Capri) arrives at camp, Scarlet begins to open up and maybe even fall in love. However, just when these girls are making a meaningful connection, they are forced to reconcile their reality in ways they cannot begin to fathom and question the very fabric of their own existence.

“The Experience” is a powerful and offbeat coming of age story that has every emotion conjured for our teenage lead characters,” said writer-director Katerina Gorshkov. “We are particularly excited to have powerhouse Brigitte Nielson cast in the film, as her role is not her usual action-thriller villain that audiences are used to seeing from her.”  

The film was produced by Katerina Gorshkov (Rotten), co-produced by Jaime Gallagher (Zoolander) with associate producer Jason Schmid. The deal was negotiated by Eric Doctorow on behalf of Random Media and by Glen Reynolds and Sebastian Twardosz of Circus Road Films on behalf of the filmmakers.

THE EXPERIENCE releases in theatres, on DVD and on-demand November 5^th.

Random Media proudly announces the home entertainment debut of New York-based theater company Roll the Bones’ ambitious and unique film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with HAMLET IN THE GOLDEN VALE, on DVD, Digital and VOD, beginning October 8, 2019. The production follows a team of actors to a five-hundred-year-old castle in Co. Tipperary, Ireland where—over the course of three weeks—a unique re-telling of Shakespeare’s greatest work emerges. This groundbreaking film tells a story-within-a-story, blurring the lines between the actors and their characters. A new take on the classic tale, HAMLET IN THE GOLDEN VALE is the story of eight actors living in close quarters — immersed in the world of Hamlet.

In addition to the feature, the team also tackled a 360 Virtual Reality experience with production support from theNational Theatre’s ‘Immersive Storytelling Studio’ and presented two onsite immersive performances for the surrounding community. Out of this threefold creative endeavor comes an adaptation that lives at the intersection of, and blurs the lines between, theatre and cinema.

Random Media releases the documentary comedy-drama film, ‘HORROR MOVIE: A LOW BUDGET NIGHTMARE’, starring Dee Wallace (E.T, Cujo), Craig Anderson, Gerard Odwyer, Rob Anderson and Bryan Moses, on DVD, On-Demand and on all digital platforms September 10, 2019.

Directed by Gary Doust, ‘Horror Movie: A Low Budget Nightmare’ is a ‘fly on the wall’ style documentary that follows a filmmaker’s attempt to live out a childhood dream by making a super-low-budget horror feature, about an aborted fetus that seeks revenge on its family. Tired of playing roles like the ‘diabetes patient’ or the ‘weird friend’ on Australian TV, actor/filmmaker Craig Anderson sets his sights on a career upgrade. With his and his brother’s life savings on the line, he manages to sign up Hollywood ‘scream queen’ Dee Wallace (E.T., Cujo) to star in the film, but it is not long before things go wildly off the rails and his big dream turns into a nightmare. With the budget spiraling out of control, union issues and even a circumcision to overcome, we follow this hilarious, moving and nail-biting rollercoaster journey from pre-production to the very end.

While investigating, his obsession with finding her awakens evil forces from his youth and he must overcome his own demons who have returned to prevent him from unlocking a dormant power to manifest his dreams into reality. As the truth of the case merges with the fiction of an 80s game book Anton is reading, he’s drawn deeper into the story, unsure if he’s losing touch with the real world. In Anton’s search for answers, a mysterious man seems to either be guiding him, or luring him into a fatal trap but nonetheless is holding the key to Lamya’s disappearance. As Anton gets closer to the truth, he finds Lamya’s diary, and discovers it is a magical tome that enables its owner to rewrite their life into whatever they wish it to be. Did Lamya vanish into a realm of her own creation or has Anton inadvertently re-imagined his own life through these pages? With everyone involved either gunning for his life or roping him into deadly situations, Anton is certain that wherever the labyrinthine path leads him, he will find Lamya…if he can stay alive long enough.

Directed by Jeffrey Johnson, ‘CAPTAIN BLACK’ follows Mike, a mild-mannered restaurant manager whose life gets turned upside down the night he discovers a mysterious bag left behind by one of his employees.

Mike is content to consider this adventure a lovely memory until fast forward two months later when he meets up with her again, accidentally. But every fantasy has its price. Out of costume, he discovers she’s not the women he thought she was, and this revelation makes him question every aspect of his life, including his relationship with his estranged sister (Kirsten Roeters) and his abused next-door neighbor (Liesel Kopp) and her son (Nico David).
