Gravitas Ventures has successfully acquired the North American rights to “Loud and Longing.” This compelling narrative weaves the story of childhood best friends Lucy and Lucien, who are on the verge of earning their rightful place in New York City’s cutthroat arts scene. The plot thickens when their elusive cousin Matt reappears, excavating burdensome childhood secrets. Forced to face their addictions and a history of trauma, Lucy and Lucien must regain their art - and their lives.
The stars of the project include Isabel Ellison, Sam Encarnación, Max Carpenter, Franco González, and Ell Peck. Having made its global premiere at the Lighthouse International Film Festival, “Loud and Longing” was produced by Maria Palacio, Peck, and Briar Robin Pollock. The executive producers feature Sam Ellison, Ryan Guiterman, G.B. Ellison, Eric Guiterman, Diana Guiterman, Leron Guiterman, Sterling Milan, and Sally Sullivan. The film boasts cinematography by Vuk Lungulov-Klotz and Aidan Macaluso, with a soundtrack by Simon Taufique.
Gravitas' Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Operations, Bill Guentzler, shared, “Gravitas is proud to continue our collaboration with the talented filmmaking team of Sam Ellison and Ryan Guiterman. Their new feature Loud and Longing exhibits the versatility of their storytelling skill by offering an authentic and raw story of dreamers propelled by their passion.”
