Morgan Freeman's hometown comes under siege by the living dead in Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies, and at American Film Market, Gravitas Ventures acquired the action horror film for domestic distribution:
Press Release: Santa Monica, CA (November 4, 2017) - Director Mark Newton's Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies, winner of "Goriest Film" at last week's FANtastic Horror Film Festival in San Diego, has been acquired by Gravitas Ventures for domestic distribution, announced Daniel Wood, Executive Producer.
"Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies has a great Southern vibe and gives a unique twist to the zombie film genre, with a little Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead in the mix. Plus, there's a zombie horde, carnival mayhem, Southern rock, and mad scientists. It's a fun ride!" said Joshua Spector, Director of Acquisitions for Gravitas Ventures.

A trend has developed recently in which films made outside of the Hollywood studio structure are being marketed by the big studios. And to the surprise of some in Hollywood, these projects are being met with success. There are several factors at work here, but most notably it is due to two things: the overwhelming success of The Passion of the Christ through unorthodox, grass-roots marketing efforts and the fact that the equipment necessary to produce a studio quality film is now readily available to just about anyone. So, recently there have been a couple of movies produced by a church in Georgia that showed enough promise and were high enough quality that Sony saw an opportunity to market them in the faith-based community. It is funny how Hollywood doesn’t like to acknowledge religion in a good way but they want to make money off of it,...

“Grace Card” is a faith-based story directed by David G. Evans of Graceworks Pictures, whose stated mission is to “produce excellent films about God’s love in the real world.” The film recounts the story of a man who roils against God and his fellow man for 17 years after his young son’s death, and its message is unmistakable: Forgive so you will be forgiven. Its characters elicit our compassion; its resolution, though expected given the nature of the enterprise, consoles us. Though this message movie targets a specific audience, viewers outside that demographic can appreciate the sentiments it contains.
