“We’re extremely excited for audiences in Canada and the US to experience a fresh take on the genre,” says James Milligan, Producer and CEO of Wild Media Entertainment. Anthony Artibello, Producer and CCO of Wild Media adds, “Project Ithacahas an emotional resonance audiences might not expect from this type of film.”
In the highly anticipated PROJECT ITHACA, a smart sci-fi thriller with stunning production design and amazing visual effects, a group of strangers awakens aboard an alien spacecraft. Divided they will die, but together, they hope to find a way home.
“Wild Media’s objective was to create a theatrical quality, cinematic feature film with emerging talent,” says Milligan. “I believe we delivered in front of the camera but also in post. The team assembled was top notch and it shows in the VFX, colour and score. Saban Films (USA) and Raven Banner Entertainment (CAN) are the final players bringing PROJECT ITHACA to audiences across North America. We’re thrilled to be partnered with them.”
As evident with the success of new titles like this one, Wild Media Entertainment continues to operate as a home for elevated genre and continues to help pave the way for filmmakers in this rapidly changing marketplace.
The film was made possible, in part, with the support of Northern Ontario Heritage Fund, Ontario Creates and NBCUniversal.
