The night shift is once again a scary one to work.
Freestyle Digital Media has announced that it will bring ROOM SIX to all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, on May 2. Written and directed by Hobart Miller and Michael Panico, it stars Sophia Echendu, Mickey O’Sullivan and Jack Ball. The synopsis: “ROOM SIX tells the story of Maxx [Echendu]–a college student working the night shift for her summer job at a rural, vacant rundown motel before the late-night arrival of two brothers. After a few suspicious incidents, Maxx’s curiosity (or paranoia) gets the best of her, and she decides to investigate. Maxx quickly finds herself in danger as she uncovers what lies hidden in the brothers’ room.”
“ROOM SIX is a raw, gritty thriller that takes place across one eventful night at a rural motel,” say Miller and Panico. “We wrote this story after reflecting on our own self-destructive tendencies and coping mechanisms. The intention of ROOM SIX is to highlight how unresolved trauma in one’s past can shape their future and to explore what it means to reach the point of no return.”
