Gravitas Ventures has acquired writer-director Eric Nazarian’s Los Angeles-set crime thriller Die Like A Man for U.S., Canada and international rights.
The coming-of-age journey follows Freddy, a 17-year-old Westsider who is given a gun and asked to prove himself to a veteran gangster he idolizes. Miguel Angel Garcia (The Long Game) stars as the conflicted teen, Cory Hardrict (Tyler Perry’s Divorce in Black) as ruthless gang father figure Solo, and Mariel Molino (NCIS Origins) as love interest Luna.
Nazarian called Die Like A Man “an honest tale about the doomed codes of machismo culture that has spiraled into worsening gun violence and inner city warfare. Freddy’s journey explores the destructive power of internalized rage and the road towards atonement.”
The film was shot entirely in Los Angeles’ inner city communities and included teaming up with famed advocate Father Gregory Boyle’s Homeboy Industries.
