Genre-bending LGBTQ+ feature film ‘Wild Fire’ releasing in North America

Pennsylvania-based production company HalfJack Generation today announces its debut feature film Wild Fire has been picked up by distributor Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, for USA release, after revealing the trailer last week. It will be available to watch from March 5th on Apple TV, Prime Video, Vudu, Google Play & more and is now available to pre-order.

The groundbreaking film is a predominantly female and queer-led ensemble drama in which seven acquaintances get radically honest about their lives over the course of one night. After an unyielding game of Truth or Dare, the exemplary couple opens up about what they’re going throughthat they’re not as perfect as they seem.

This sets the stage for the rest of the group to reveal their own unspoken desires and secrets that they have been avoiding, some for their whole lives. The following morning back in their bedrooms, each couple must choose a path. Will they integrate their newly exposed truthsor choose to act as if nothing has changed?

The directorial debut of Jennifer Cooney, CEO of HalfJack Generation, Wild Fire received 22 total accolades over the course of a ten-month international festival run in 2023, securing multiple wins along the way, including Best Drama at Shockfest Film Festival, Best of Fest at Pride Film Festival, and Best Original Score and Best Actress (for Celeste Marcone who plays Elliana) at the Red Dirt Film Festival.

Jennifer Cooney, writer/director of Wild Fire, says, ”Wild Fire is about the journey of becoming ones truest self. Film has the power to not just represent, but incite radical honesty, personal growth, self- and social-awareness, and expansion towards new perspectives. This is why I am so excited to be working with Gravitas Venturesto bring this film to as wide an audience as possible. The aim is for the message of authenticity and human connection to travel as far and wide as possible.”
