Gravitas Ventures has acquired North American rights to distribute the action film, INSIGHT, produced and directed by Livi Zheng. Written by and starring Ken Zheng, INSIGHT also stars Madeline Zima, Sean Patrick Flanery, John Savage, Adam Huss, Tony Todd, and Keith David. INSIGHT is slated for a day and date release on March 12, 2021.
Jian (Ken Zheng) is a counter terrorism agent who blends his skills as a martial artist and clairvoyant to bring the world's most nefarious individuals to justice. This lone wolf is forced to make an unexpected detour to Los Angeles upon receipt of the devastating news of a cover up surrounding his brother's alleged suicide. With the reluctant help of LAPD detectives, Abby (Madeline Zima), Carl (Tony Todd), and Captain Duke (Keith David), the unlikely group become involved in the investigation. Jian and Abby fight against a high-tech criminal (Sean Patrick Flanery) looking to exploit the brothers' gifts in his quest for power.
"Insight seamlessly interweaves the best of martial arts, action, and science fiction. In short, it was an amazing experience to direct this genre blending, action packed movie. I'm happy that Insight will release in the US through the partnership with Gravitas Ventures," said filmmaker Livi Zheng.
"It has been an exciting journey injecting sci-fi and martial arts to the script, two themes not commonly found together, which creates exhilarating moments in this movie. While brimming with action scenes, at its core, Insight is a movie about the bond between two brothers that spans across a lifetime. I am glad that through the partnership we have with Gravitas Ventures, that this film will release this March 12," said Ken Zheng.
"To me, Livi Zheng is one of the most exciting filmmakers in the indie world. She has so much drive and her film Insight is proof of that. It's an ambitious martial arts movie and just the first in a long line of entertaining, original movies to come," said Gravitas Ventures Senior Acquisition Manager Nick Royak.
