Realization Films is making headway this Spring with the Cinequest premiere of Andre Welsh’s feature directing debut, Disrupted. A limited theatrical and digital release is expected to follow in the summer, and host to a cast that includes Ron Kaell, Geoffrey Lower and Chioke Jelani Clanton.
Voted as the Best Film Festival by USA Today readers, Disrupted is described as “a singular journey about the weight of one’s past and the impossible challenge to do right by it in the present, bound into a tight-knit psychological suspense crime thriller that festers in the collateral damage of gentrification and race-related tensions rooted in modern day Oakland.”
For longtime Oakland resident, Pete, survival is an endless struggle in a gentrified, tech-driven world that’s left him in its dust. But he’s clean and sober, has rectified a relationship with his daughter, and the memories of his wife’s unsolved murder from decades ago rarely haunt him these days. That is until a local killing is strikingly familiar. Reluctantly pulled back in by the retired detective who worked the original case, Pete again sets out to find his wife’s killer and is quickly consumed by his rekindled thirst for justice, a pursuit that cost him everything once before.
The announcement also boasts “dynamic visual storytelling, a tantalizing musical score, elements of intrigue, ambition, and power struggles, which make for a compelling picture…”
Rounding out the cast are Marie Wilson, Drew Seeley, Amy Paffrath, and Daniel Roebuck. Producers are Mark Gogolewski, Steven Siig, and Jared Drake, with Jeff Gadigan co-producing.
