Los Angeles, CA (September 26, 2024) Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired worldwide VOD rights to the award-winning supernatural horror-mystery feature film Children Of The Pines, which will be available to rent/own on all digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms globally, as well as on DVD, starting on October 18, 2024. Children Of The Pines recently won ‘Best Horror Feature’ at the International New York Film Festival and the ‘Audience Award’ at Gasparilla International Film Festival.
Children Of The Pines tells the story of a young college student, Riley, who while visiting her estranged parents, learns they are partaking in supernatural healing for their family trauma. Riley’s mother, Kathy, alongside her husband John, participates in a healing practice to mend their marriage and reconcile with their estranged daughter, Riley, over her college winter break. As Riley attempts to reconnect with her family, she becomes increasingly unsettled after being introduced to mysterious children now living in her childhood home. Unknown to Riley, her high school ex-boyfriend, Gordon, resurfaces as a close family friend who also helps take care of the children living at the house. Glimpses into the past reveal unsettling truths, compelling Riley to confront the sinister reality of her family’s hidden plan for her to join them.
