The film will be released on major VOD platforms including Amazon, AppleTV, DirecTV, Google Play and VUDU Fandango on Dec. 3.
Written, directed, produced and starring Tony award-winning actress Pinkins, the title refers to someone who infiltrates a group and destroys them from the inside. The political thriller sets itself as a wake-up call about American politics, putting a haunting spotlight on the weaponization of whiteness and White Supremacy as well as the waves of “Beckys” and “Karens” calling the police on Black people for simply being Black.
Pinkins stars in the film alongside Rubén Blades (Fear the Walking Dead), Catherine Curtain (Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, Homeland), Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Colby Minifie (The Boys, Fear the Walking Dead), Luba Mason (Person of Interest, NYPD Blue), Jake O’Flaherty (Criminal Minds, Shameless) and Adesola Osakalumi.
Red Pill is set days before the 2020 election as a group of progressive canvassers of all races drive to Virginia to get out the vote. As soon as they cross the state line it is clear they are not welcome. Distressing clues indicate that they should get out of their rental house while the getting is good. They decide to stay, armed with their heart, humor and naiveté — but what they really need is heavy artillery.
The director of photography is John Hudak Jr., the film was edited by Minji Kang and features an award-winning sound/music department with score by Tasos Eliopoulos, sound design by Paul Hsu , sound editing and re-recording mixing by Michael Barry and music supervision by Carter Little.
