Follow on Google News | Grimster Pictures announces U.S. and Canada release of RegionratRegionrat tells the story of Ray (Connor Williams), who, after six unsuccessful months trying to get a fresh start in Seattle, heads back to his old stomping grounds, to a place nicknamed the region. Once there, he settles back in with former friends and their less than motivated lifestyle, skipping class and smoking weed. Ray meets Erin (Natassia Halabi), a party gal herself, and he gets hooked, even though she sort-of has a boyfriend with a really bad attitude. This is only the start of a series of problems that will test Ray's will to change, or lack thereof, because when life knocks you down, you roll one up. "Regionrat is a gritty young-adult film that reminds you of the high school nights spent hanging with friends and figuring out the weight of human relationships. We're glad to be working on the film." Says Nick Royak from Gravitas Ventures. "When I was developing Regionrat, I was concerned that people would not care about a film that was local specific, but as I got feedback, I heard many personal stories from actors, and audiences, and when I found out how many of them related to one character or another, I knew we had something special. I'm so glad that Gravitas watched the film and felt the same way," said Writer/Director, Javier Reyna. The film is the debut film of its screenwriter, Javier Reyna and marks his first feature collaboration with composer Marcus Trumpp (A Quiet Place, Logan). Connor Williams (Happy Hunting), has been picking up Best Actor and Breakout Performance awards throughout the film festival circuit. REGIONRAT has also garnered festival awards for Best Ensemble Cast, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Film.
