The L.A.-based thriller ‘Descendent,’ which follows an elementary school security guard struggling after a near encounter, has been acquired by RLJE Films before its premiere at SXSW. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release across North America towards the end of 2025 with RLJE Films.
Writer and director Peter Cilella expressed his excitement about teaming up with RLJE Films for the screening of ‘Descendent’ at SXSW and beyond. He noted that creating this film was a deeply personal endeavor, and he is thankful to all those who contributed to bringing it from concept to reality.
The film, being Cilella’s initial foray into feature-length directing, features Ross Marquand from “The Walking Dead” and Sarah Bolger known for “Mayans M.C.” This movie revolves around Sean Bruner, a man on the brink of fatherhood but tormented by past traumas. During his late-night shift, he encounters a strange beam of light, which causes him to regain consciousness with eerie visions of alien life and a distorted perception of reality.
Mark Ward, RLJE Films’ chief acquisitions officer, is excited about the upcoming release of ‘Descendent,’ a collaboration with Peter Cilella. This production promises an exhilarating blend of suspense and sci-fi that resonates deeply with its audience by weaving a personal narrative amidst cosmic anxieties reminiscent of ‘Fire in the Sky.’ He described the movie’s ambiance as evoking primal fears related to parenthood, fate, and forces beyond our grasp.”
