Variety has the details on the first three films the JV will produce, all set to roll cameras in 2025:
“Homesick”
Director: Todd Slavkin
Writers: Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer
A gripping psychological thriller centered on Abby Morrison, an OB/GYN whose life is upended when a teenage girl—her long-lost daughter—breaks into her home and chains her and her husband in their wine cellar. Set in Winnipeg, Homesick explores themes of motherhood, guilt, and the haunting legacy of past choices.
“Trip”
Writer/Director: Dewayne Jones
In this hallucinatory journey, Chris, a young man seeking solace, ventures into the Panamanian jungle for a psychedelic retreat that quickly spirals into a confrontation with memory, grief, and the supernatural. Trip blends raw emotional realism with surreal imagery to tell a story of spiritual reckoning and identity.
“The Wildmen”
Director: Tom DeLonge
Writers: D. Todd Deeken, Jay Thames, Tom DeLonge
A supernatural Western set in the 1869 American frontier. The film follows a haunted ex-gunslinger and a Paiute warrior as they confront a ruthless land baron—and the mythical “Wildmen,” vengeful spirits awakened by violence and greed.
"Bride Hard" distributor Magenta Light Studios has set a new co-finance and co-production deal with two other indie shops.
