Electric Entertainment Acquires U.S. Rights to Thriller ‘Exile’
May 4, 2023
The Canadian feature film Exile has been acquired by Electric Entertainment in the United States, Vortex Media in Canada and Nicely Entertainment for international.
The thriller, shot in Powell River, B.C., stars Adam Beach (Power of the Dog, Suicide Squad) as Ted Evans, a father struggling with his past. It also stars Camille Sullivan (Hunter Hunter), Garry Chalk (“The Killing”) and Marshall Williams (The Ice Road). The film had its world premiere in December at the Whistler Film Festival.
In Exile, Ted Evans receives a threat from the man whose family he killed in a DUI. In order to protect his family when he is released from prison, Ted exiles himself and commits to a reclusive life; separating himself from the people he loves. His wife, Sara (Sullivan), believes the threat is a manifestation of her husband’s profound guilt. Determined to rebuild their family, Sara tracks down Ted to confront him, but she has no idea who he’s become or how real the threat may be.
“This nail-biting thriller features stunning performances by Beach and Sullivan,” Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment, said in a statement. “Their on-screen chemistry, married with the lavish sets of the beautiful British Columbia countryside, are certain to make this a must-watch for U.S. audiences.”
