Gravitas Ventures Signs Horror Soap Opera HELL TOWN

Gravitas Ventures has acquired domestic VOD rights for Steve Balderson's festival favorite Hell Town.  Presented as three episodes of a sadistic twist on Masterpiece Theater, Balderson (Firecracker, The Casserole Club) and co-director Elizabeth Spear have carved up a serialized story filled with catfights, cliffhangers, broken hearts and murder. 

Since the world premiere sponsored by the Austin Horror Society and Alamo Drafthouse, Hell Town has made audiences and critics laugh and scream, picking up awards for Best Feature at Colorado Horror-Con, as well as a Best Feature and Best Actress win for Amanda Deibert, with nominations for Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography, at the Crimson Scream Horror Film Festival.

Debbie Rochon (Model Hunger, Return to Nuke 'Em High, The Theater Bizarre) headlines as the hostess of the three surviving episodes of Hell Town, following the melodramatic and potentially short-lived lives of Krysten Day, Amanda Deibert, Owen Lawless, Ben Windholz, Jennifer Grace and Balderson muse Pleasant Gehman.

Hell Town follows the melodramatic antics of high school seniors clashing over love, sex, and betrayal.  In the middle of all the everyday drama of one-sided infatuations, backstabbing bitchiness, bottled-up sexuality, sibling rivalry and general small-town angst, the Letter Jacket Killer is killing students in a variety of sadistic ways.  As the body count rises and the blood pools closer to home, it becomes clear that one of our main characters is the killer.  Everyone, from the prom queen and shirtless jock to the nosey geek and the super bitch, are all suspects in the carnage.

Brendan Gallagher, SVP of Business Affairs at Gravitas negotiated the deal with Cyfuno Ventures on behalf of Dikenga.  A digital and cable release is planned for the end of summer.

Synopsis:

"Me and my girlfriend have killed dozens of people over the last years, worthless pieces of filth that won't be missed by anyone.

We also captured some of our murders on video for a small group of like-minded people.

But killing started to get boring, and so I decided to make my last dream become reality and have my girlfriend video tape it.

For ages, I have been dreaming of inflicting actions of hatred and lust on a corpse, and then getting buried next to this last victim.  So I kidnapped a 21 year old whore yesterday.  I will kill her, bleed her, then let her ripen for four months, in order to commence with my final masterpiece.

These are the videos leading up to my last, most depraved act."

There is no dialogue in any of these shorts, presented in an analog video style, which tell this story of madness through the actions of the killer. They consist of the following shorts:
