Gravitas Ventures will release Jug Face on VOD

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Gravitas Ventures has announced that they have acquired the U.S. VOD rights to the tense horror-thriller JUG FACE, written and directed by Chad Crawford Kinkle. The film was produced by Andrew van den Houten (THE WOMAN) and Robert Tonino (GHOUL) for Modernciné, and stars Lauren Ashley Carter (THE WOMAN), Sean Bridgers (DEADWOOD), Sean Young (BLADERUNNER), Larry Fessenden (I SELL THE DEAD) and Daniel Manche (THE GIRL NEXT DOOR).

The film was executive produced by Lucky McKee, Arrien Schiltkamp and Loren Semmens. JUG FACE won the Slamdance Grand Prize Screenwriting Award in 2011 and debuted as a Special Screening selection at this year’s festival.

Ada, her family and a small isolated backwoods community worship a mysterious pit. The pit has the power to heal and protect all who honor it but at a deadly price…it demands an occasional sacrifice. The pit communicates through the local potter who, while in a trance, crafts ceramic jugs that carry the face of a person to be sacrificed to the entity that lives within it. Ada has a secret about the latest jug face that she’s determined to keep hidden but the pit demands a sacrifice and unleashes an evil onto the community until it gets who it really wants.

JUG FACE is currently slated for a July pre-theatrical VOD premiere, followed by a national theatrical roll out.
