“Every animal has the right to be respected.” Gravitas Ventures has posted their official trailer for an indie thriller from Belgium titled Liberty, an English-language story about an animal rights activist. Availalbe in the US on VOD this fall. Directed by Phil De Witte, the film features a “breakout performance” by Nicholas Michael McGovern as Matt.

Also starring Alice Barrett, Olan Montgomery, Denny Dale Bess, Samantha Smart, Jonathan Kirkland & Andrea McKinnon. This looks intense – check it out. // Continue Reading ›
