Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) and Glass House Distribution announced
their second release with SAVIORS, the Winner of the Jury Award at the
Madrid International Film Festival and the Beverly Hills Film
Festival Audience Choice Award. The film garnered further
nominations and praise during its festival run, including going on
to be one of two US films nominated at RAINDANCE for best feature,
where great word of mouth led to sold-out screenings, and earning
Greenslate a directing nod at St. Louis International.
SAVIORS is available today on
Digital and DVD.
In a single, continuous take spanning multiple locations, writer
and director Christopher Greenslate takes his audience deep into an
amazingly taut and suspenseful ride through the racially charged
world filled with a hateful divide many people face every day.
SAVIORS follows a young
woman as she embeds herself into a white power group to locate her
adoptive African-American mother but on her first night, she is
forced to test her allegiance to the group when she finds herself
needing to make a life or death decision after the group returns
from a rally with a van holding black hostages.
Inspired by Greenslate’s own experiences with dangerous white
nationalists in the southern California punk and hardcore music
scene, he’s found a visceral and visually eloquent way to bring
these relevant issues to screen in his debut film.
“I grew up around and was often in confrontation with dangerous
white people, so the film reflects that,” said Christopher
Greenslate. “Unfortunately, what’s happening around the country and
most recently in Kenosha is nothing new. White people have either
been perpetrators of violence, or have shirked responsibility for
too long. It’s as if white people have been asleep, allowing
ourselves to live in this dream life where everything’s fine. So,
if the life of this film and its impact is to help puncture the
dream then I’ve done my job.”
