A new horror comedy is on its way that puts a supernatural spin on the work place entitled End of Days, Inc., and right now we have the trailer, stills, and more. Dig it before the rain of frogs and famine.
From the Press Release:
Indiecan Entertainment has acquired the Canadian and US distribution rights to END OF DAYS, INC., a darkly comic feature film with a supernatural spin marking Jennifer Liao’s feature directorial debut, which recently premiered at the USA Film Festival in Dallas, Texas.
The ensemble film, written by Christina Ray (Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning), stars Mark O’Brien (“Republic of Doyle”), Carolyne Maraghi (Picture Day), Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Kim’s Convenience), Janet Porter (The Listener), Anna Ferguson (“Heartland”), Yulia Petrauskas (“Nikita”), and Paulino Nunes (“The Strain”) as Mr. Godfrey.
The creative team also includes director of photography Benjamin Lichty (How to Change the World), production designer David Orin Charles (Meatballs), editor John Nicholls (Make It Pop), and costume designer Jenn Burton (Skating to New York). END OF DAYS, INC., was produced by Sandy Kellerman and Jennifer Liao with financial support from Telefilm Canada.
“This is a highly original and entertaining film with a distinctive style that also happens to have been written, directed, and produced by female filmmakers,” says Indiecan Entertainment’s Avi Federgreen. “It’s a unique and exciting addition to Indiecan’s slate.”
The acquisition presents a reunion of sorts as Liao was the producer of a previous Indiecan title, Sex After Kids. “I know firsthand how tireless Avi is in championing Canadian independent films and their filmmakers. We’re in great hands, and we look forward to getting to work bringing END OF DAYS, INC., to audiences across North America,” Liao adds.
END OF DAYS, INC., puts a supernatural spin on a workplace shutdown to darkly comic and chilling effect. It’s the last day of business before Godfrey Global Inventory shuts down for good, and the enigmatic Mr. Godfrey (Nunes) and his officious sister, Esther (Ferguson), invite the company’s downtrodden staff – Jason (O’Brien), Janet (Maraghi), Mort (Lee), and Misty (Porter) – to a farewell party where they are to receive their final paycheques. Instead, they are bribed into working one last night, wherein they discover that processing the last of their “inventory” may lead to cataclysmic consequences.
END OF DAYS, INC.’s trailer launches today, and the film is expected to hit theatres in early 2016 after its run on the festival circuit.
