The Blaze Brothers Production Company LLC presents the trailer release of the first feature written and directed by Nathan Blaze, who also executive produced.
Currently in post-production, Run is a dystopian thriller revealing how doom has encompassed the post-apocalyptic world. A woman and her best friend, Squeaks the mouse, are hunted by a cannibalistic gang. All she has for her and Squeaks to escape is her pace.
Blaze assembled a talented cast that includes Marie Wetherell (1923) as Claire, one of the few survivors of a global invasion from vicious otherworldly creatures, Blaine Hall (Killers of the Flower Moon) as Merik, the leader of one of the last remaining human gangs in the region, Tom Zembrod (Howlers) as Jax who is Merik’s right-hand man, who’s every bit as twisted, and Stelio Savante (Ugly Betty, The Chosen) as Kane, a rugged veteran of the apocalypse.
“I knew this film was going to be physically demanding, filming on location in the woods, running around. So I knew I had to choose someone for the lead who not only fit the look or had the acting chops, but someone who could pull off the physicality. I knew instantly Marie would be a great fit because I had worked with her before, and she thrives in physically demanding roles. I think she actually enjoys it,” said Nathan Blaze. “Blaine completely surprised me. I knew he could do the physicality of the role, but I had never seen him in a villain role. I had only worked with him on sets as being the good guy. I knew he was good, but even I didn’t realize he was that good, especially being behind a face mask for the majority of the movie. His performance pierces right through it.”
