Producers Of Indie Thriller ‘Exhale’ License Voice Of Writer Alan Watts To Use In Movie; Logan Marshall-Green Joins Cast
EXCLUSIVE: Post-production has wrapped on indie thriller Exhale, starring Q’orianka Kilcher (Yellowstone) as a young Indigineous woman who psychologically unravels in quarantine.
The synopsis reads: “With the world feeling as though it’s caving in around her, Alma fights for her mental and physical health amidst COVID-19, the Black Lives Matter movement and other life-altering events.”
Adam VillaSeñor directs the project, which is written and produced by VillaSeñor and Kilcher.
In a recent creative addition, Mark Watts of The Alan Watts Organization has licensed the voice of his late father Alan Watts to the producers. Watts is the British and American writer, speaker, and self-styled “philosophical entertainer”, known for interpreting and popularising Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophy for western audiences. He passed in 1973.
Logan Marshall-Green (Spider-Man: Homecoming) has also joined the previously announced ensemble cast, which includes Angela Sarafyan, Idara Victor, Jesse Garcia, Scott Haze, Joanna Cassidy, Nick Cassavetes, Peter Facinelli, Tiffany Chu, Timothy V. Murphy, and Wes Studi.
Reza Ghassemi and Jacob Stein executive-produced the film, along with Nicholas Donnermeyer, who will be representing the distribution rights on behalf of the filmmakers. The movie is in post-production. Above is a first-look image.
Kilcher and VillaSeñor said in a joint statement: “In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, something deep within us has stirred. Many have begun to question the structures we once trusted, the power of the elite, the role of government, and the very nature of the perceived reality we live in. Exhale was born from that questioning. Alan Watts’ timeless voice of the past offers us a mirror into the future, reminding us of the illusions we live under and the consciousness that lies beyond them. We are incredibly grateful to Mark Watts for allowing us to integrate his father’s voice into our film. Exhale will be an experience that will stir something deep inside of you.”
