Returning to KCFF with another proudly local production, the Branded to Film team promises a movie ride wild and gnarly enough to blow the doors off any grindhouse. Mixing all that is loud and heavy with high tension and gory horror thrills, the tale begins with a hard-rocking band whose imminent breakthrough gets derailed by a messy breakup. Two years later, the four members try to patch things up during a getaway at a cottage in South Frontenac. Unfortunately, they soon discover that their old gripes and resentments are the least of their worries if they hope to survive the weekend. With a cast that includes real-life musicians like Ciara Roberts of Tiny Horse, Jonah Lewis-Anthony of The Wilderness and Hanorah Hanley, George Assimakopoulos’s feature combines a sense of raw authenticity about life in a band with an undisguised affection for old-school movie mayhem.

This event is part of the Kingston Canadian Film Festival, running from February 26 – March 2, 2025. For more information, head to kingcanfilmfest.com!
