“We couldn’t be more excited for audiences to experience this one-of-a-kind, vivid, and unapologetically ‘in-your-face’ film,” said Cranked Up Films CEO, Scott Donley. “Adam has such a unique perspective and filmmaking voice, it’s been an absolute pleasure having him as a creative partner on this release.”

“Looking at the world and people as characters and as drama has given me insight into human relationships, acceptance of life, and duality,” added Sherman. “Creating stories and making movies is who I am, it’s what I am. It’s how I think, see, and breathe. This has given me a more positive outlook on the world, or perhaps acceptance of the opera that we’re all a part of.”

This Game’s Called Murder follows the Wallendorf family who made their money by selling designer heels. When the influencer daughter of the family, Jennifer (Vanessa Marano), sets out to destroy the empire, her father (Ron Perlman) attempts to rein her back in.

Joining Perlman and Marano are stars James Lastovic, Natasha Henstridge, Nicole Sousa, Nikko Austen Smith, Tory Devon Smith, Judson Mills, Challen Cates, Annabel Barrett, Tyler Steelman and more.
