“This is as real as anything I know…” Is it? Or is she just saying that? RLJE Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie action sci-fi thriller called Levels, the feature debut of Canadian indie filmmaker Adam Stern. This is set to open in November including on VOD right away. The vague one-liner: After witnessing his girlfriend’s murder, a man risks everything, including reality itself, to discover the truth. In the future, a man watches in horror as his girlfriend gets murdered and the killer seemingly disappears into mid-air. He soon embarks on a voyage of discovery that leads to shocking revelations that his own reality is not what it appears to be. The indie sci-fi film stars Cara Gee, Peter Mooney, Aaron Abrams, and David Hewlett. From this trailer, it seems like he’s stuck in some kind of massive video game simulation – “the first digital universe”. Hence the different “levels” of the world he has to navigate in order to figure out what happened to her and what’s really going on. Not bad, seems like a cool idea, I’m curious. Check out this footage below.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Adam Stern’s sci-fi film Levels, direct from YouTube:
Snapping awake from a nightmare, Joe (Mooney) takes a breath before returning to his supposed reality. On the surface, it seems like an average day in an average man’s life, but after his girlfriend, Ash (Gee), can be heard delivering Joe a cautionary message, things flip upside down. Ash is shot by an unknown assailant who makes a break for it. When Joe chases after the perp, her attacker vanishes into thin air. On a mission to find out the truth, Joe bites off more than he can chew, as he comes to find that everything he thought he knew about his world may very well have been a lie. Levels is written and directed by Canadian genre producer / filmmaker Adam Stern, making his feature directorial debut after directing a few other shorts previously; he also founded Artifex Studios in Canada. Produced by Kyle Bornais, Tony Wosk, and Adam Stern. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. RLJE Films will debut Stern’s Levels in select US theaters + on VOD starting November 1st, 2024 this fall. Is anyone interested?
