SLAVVY RELEASING MAIN THEME FROM FINAL SUMMER OCTOBER 24th, SIGNS ON TO DO ORIGINAL SCORE FOR ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DEAD: "Ukrainian born, Miami based producer, songwriter, composer, and filmmaker Rostislav Vaynshtok, better known as Slavvy, has officially signed on to score the upcoming film from Saw IV-3D writer Marcus Dunstan; All My Friends are Dead. In celebration he’s releasing his latest composition on October 24th, the main theme from Final Summer, which was released on VOD September 12th.
Drawing inspiration from composers such as Vangelis, John Carpenter, Fabio Frizzi, Claudio Simonetti, Goblin, Jerry Goldsmith, Ben Lovett, Tengerine Dream, and the inimitable Disasterpeace. The track features a crushing darkness that sets the tone for bloody carnage to come as the film’s title card rolls. Slavvy will return to compose the full score for sequel that takes the film deeper into the 90’s; Final Summer 2.
Final Summer synopsis:
We head back to 1991, after a long summer of fun and games at Camp Silverlake in the woods, where organizers are preparing to shut down the camp after the final season before it is sold off to developers. But there's something – or someone – waiting in the darkness to exact bloody revenge on the unsuspecting campers. Who is the masked menace and what do they want? Heat turns to horror in Final Summer – an old-school style, endlessly entertaining horror, with bucketloads of blood, jump scares and no shortage of macabre murders.
All My Friends Are Dead is the latest offering from Saw IV – 7 writer and Director of the Collector and the Collection, Marcus Dunstan. The film stars Jojo Siwa and Jade Pettyjohn, and has been acquired by Cineverse/ Cinedigm as part of a 10 film, $15m deal.
John Baldecchi (Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2U) will produce the pic. Dominic Ianno (Soul Surfer), Jason Resnick (Kidnap), and Kevin Greutert (SAW franchise) are executive producing, along with Clay Epstein of Film Mode Entertainment, Suraj Gohill, and Dan Rubin, CEO of Budding Equity.
The pic follows a group of close college friends who get a steal on a killer Airbnb for the biggest music festival of the year. A weekend of partying quickly takes a turn for the worst as members of the group are murdered one by one. They soon discover that each one of their deaths directly corresponds to one of the seven deadly sins.
The soundtrack to the film will also feature a handful of Slavvy’s original songs.
Vaynshtok’s previous compositional offerings include songs in episodes of VICE News, and indie slasher titan and Screambox exclusive Terrifier 2, which returns to theaters on Nov. 1, promising fans a preview of the blood soaked next installment Terrifier 3. Terrifier 2 was a runaway hit grossing $15,000,000+ globally on a $250,000 budget. Which catapulted Damien Leone into a deal with WME and a seven figure budget for the third installment.

BREATHING IN: "1901, South Africa. As the Second Anglo-Boer War rages on, a wounded General seeks refuge in the small home of a woman and her young daughter. As the hurt man settles in, he begins noticing that something is off about the two women, particularly the daughter, and before long, he’ll learn the real reason for why they’ve invited him and for how they’ve survived on their own for so long.
Adapting the beloved South African play of the same name, Jaco Bouwer, director of the SXSW smash Gaia, delivers a tense single-location chamber piece that steadily ratchets up the tension en route to revealing its ultimate chilling endgame."
