From the Press
Release:
Global Digital
Releasing recently announced the worldwide digital and VOD release date of the
award winning film THE PASSING. Leading up to its official release on Tuesday,
June 13th, the distributor is now debuting the official trailer, poster and
newest clip, “The Visitor.”
The film, which was
acquired for North America by XYZ Films, revolves around two young lovers
(Annes Elwy and Dyfan Dwyfor). They crash their car into a ravine in the remote
mountains of Wales. Dragged from the river by a mysterious figure they will
later come to know him as Stanley (Mark Lewis Jones). Together, they are taken
to a ramshackle farm, a place untouched by time. As events unfold, we learn the
explosive truth about the young couple’s past. More unsettling still, we
discover the ghostly truth about Stanley and the tragedy of the valley he once
called home.
Shot in the beautiful
Welsh countryside, the film was written by Ed Talfan and directed by Gareth
Bryn. In addition to winning three 2016 BAFTA Cymru awards: Best Actor: Mark
Lewis Jones, Best Writer: Ed Talfan and Best Production Design: Tim Dickel, the
film also won the Univercine Jury Award in the Nantes British Film Festival.
Also, the film was nominated for Best Debut Screenplay, in the British
Independent Film Awards 2016. The film has also been critically acclaimed by
multiple press outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter and The Guardian. Sight
and Sound Magazine stated: “watertight in its construction, and steeped in all
manner of melancholic transgressions. As satisfying as it is profoundly
sorrowful.” And Popoptiq.com exclaimed: “…The Passing is a masterstroke of
allegory and mood that continues to haunt long after it’s over.”
The film will be
available in North America and across the globe on major platforms such as
iTunes, Amazon Instant, Seed & Spark, Google Play, Sony PSN, X-Box Live,
Vudu, Vimeo on Demand, Steam, Roku, Crackle, Hoopla and Tubi TV. Cable VOD will
follow at a later date.
