Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios company, has announced they have acquired the rights to the Australian indie feature film Rage. set for release on all major VOD platforms in North America and a Vimeo On Demand release in Australia on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021.

A violent home invasion leaves mild-mannered husband Noah (Matt Theo) in a coma and his wife Madeline (Hayley Beveridge) deeply traumatized. Noah awakens to find out that one of the attackers is still on the loose. As Noah and the nearly-despondent Madeline try to move on with their lives, Madeline spots the attacker, opening up a twisted tale of brutal revenge where all isn’t as it seems. Along the way, a scarred and seasoned Detective John Bennett (Richard Norton) fights his own inner demons whilst trying to solve the crime.

John Balazs (Dancer, Night Shift) directed the film with a script from writer Michael J. Kospiah (The Suicide Theory). Rage is a suspenseful revenge thriller starring Matt Theo (Night Shift), Hayley Beveridge (Dead Moon Circus) and Richard Norton (Mad Max: Fury Road), that aims to explore the aftermath of trauma, the expectations of modern marriage, revenge and infidelity.

“Rage is a sizzling burn of a film exploring the depths of human anguish,” said Gravitas Ventures Senior Acquisitions Manager Nick Royak. “It’s stunning what can happen to us in life and John Balazs takes us on the winding road post trauma. The Gravitas team is very excited for the opportunity to work with this talented group of filmmakers from halfway around the world.”
