The ID, which won Best Thriller at The Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, is directed by Hutson from a script by Sean H. Stewart and is produced by Hutson and Farrands, who previously teamed up on the romantic drama The Trouble with the Truth starring Lea Thompson and several award-winning documentaries, including Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th and Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy. The film is executive produced by Joe Robinett and Robert L. Lucas."
Hidden in the Woods, directed by Patricio Valladares and based on a true story, depicts the agonizing ordeal of two teenage sisters tormented by their abusive father (Biehn). Relieved when he's finally imprisoned, the siblings soon find their troubles have just begun when they meet their psychotic drug kingpin Uncle Costello.
She Rises takes a road trip with a film director (Blanc-Biehn) and her leading man (Angus Macfadyen, Braveheart, also the writer of this film); lost in the middle of nowhere, they make the mistake of stopping at a quaint inn run by a seemingly sweet young woman (Daisy McCrackin) and a sinister character named Daddy Longlegs (Biehn). Award-winning director (Jacob) Larry Wade Carrell sets the tension level to HIGH with twists at every turn in this house of horrors, based on the story by Lony Ruhmann and The Marcus Brothers. Lony Ruhmann is the executive producing partner on She Rises. Tony Debeneddetto also serves as one of the film's producers.
"Michael and I are so honored to have not one, but two films recognized as an Official Selection at Horrorthon," said Blanc-Biehn, whose upcoming suspense flick The Girl recently earned a win for Best Sci-Fi - Fantasy - Horror - Thriller Feature Film at the 2016 Burbank Film Festival Awards.
BBP's upcoming release schedule for 2017 is jam-packed with seven titles currently in production and ten projects in development, with Blanc and Blanc-Biehn acquiring new distribution deals to expand their international audiences.
"Our goal is to produce consistently creative and intriguing horror, sci-fi and action films with an emotional core," said Blanc-Biehn. "Being recognized for it with awards at respected film festivals is just the icing on the cake."
