Following a world premiere at 2021’s SXSW, Alex Noyer’s “Sound of Violence” is headed to homes across North America via cable and digital VOD from Gravitas Ventures.
Written and directed by Noyer, the film stars Jasmin Savoy Brown (the upcoming “Scream” revival) as Alexis. Once deaf, Alexis’s hearing was recovered when she witnessed the brutal murder of her family when she was 10. The visceral experience awakened synesthetic abilities in her and started her on an orphaned path of self-discovery through the healing tones of brutal violence. She goes on to pursue a career teaching and experimenting to find new sounds. She is supported and loved by her roommate Marie who is unaware of the dark secrets behind Alexis’ unique music and the part she unknowingly plays. Faced with the likelihood of losing her hearing again, Alexis escalates her pursuit of her masterpiece through gruesome sound experiments and devastating designs. She won’t let anything stop her, not even love.
The film also stars Lili Simmons (“Ray Donovan”), James Jagger (“Vinyl”) and Tessa Munro (“S.W.A.T.”).
“I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by people who believed in my idea of an artist in lieu of a killer. From our amazing lead Jasmin Savoy Brown to my producing partner Hannu Aukia, to our cast and crew, this movie came together because of confidence in that vision. Gravitas showed us that same confidence. I am delighted for them to bring it to North American audiences so soon after our World premiere at SXSW,” stated Noyer.
“Sound of Violence” will debut on cable and digital VOD on May 21, 2021.
