The trailer for the Gravitas Ventures’ cult PTSD film So Fades The Light has made it onto the internet, and I am hoping this movie comes with a trigger warning. Wow – enjoy.
As a girl, Sun was a God Child worshipped by The Iron and Fire Ministry, a cult of violent religious Extremists. Her life in the cult ended as police stormed their compound and exchanged fire with the gun-toting flock of men, women, and children. Many faced a bloody end while their Reverend leader was whisked off to prison.
Fifteen years later, Sun is now living like a drifter, disconnected from the world in her ramshackle van, her only constant. In an attempt to confront the trauma of her youth, she decides to travel back to the compound where it all happened. What Sun doesn’t know is that the Reverend is freshly out of prison, also on his way back home.
Get Super Rad is a creative collective whose goal is to tell brand and narrative stories without ever falling into the trap of having a locked and defined style. Their goal is to make content that feels unique and special to the project they create it for. Mostly, they want our work to look and represent the fun they had while generating it. Get Super Rad was founded in 2013. It has since made two feature films (Future, The Russian Five) with a third film in post-production (Can’t See Sh*t). They have created content for television, broadcast, and web.
The trailer for this already feels heavy and I am really curious to see how this works out for Sun. I mean think about it – David Koresh or Jim Jones has tagged you as the Messiah. That’s not good.
So Fades The Light is On Demand June 24th.
