CLEVELAND, Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios company, has acquired North American rights to distribute writer/director Anthony Catalano's Last Testament. The indie true crime drama was produced by Catalano and it stars Dominick Alesia, Anna Roemer, and Rima Sabal.
On October 19th, Gravitas will launch the film across all major VOD platforms, plus home video releases on DVD and Blu-Ray to follow. It is currently available to pre-order from Apple iTunes.
Last Testament explores the shocking true story of Ricky Rodriguez and the Children Of God cult. Born into the infamous cult, Ricky (Dominick Alesia) was subjected to years of abuse while also being groomed to one day lead the cult. He was finally able to escape the cult with his wife, Elixcia (Anna Roemer), but he remained haunted by his past. Ricky reaches a breaking point and he vows to take down the cult and its leaders - including his mother - by any means necessary.
Anthony Catalano reflects: "As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and someone who struggles with mental illness, I became fascinated by the harrowing story of Ricky Rodriguez. His story isn't a happy one, it isn't easy or convenient, but it's one that needs to be known."

Last Testament was filmed in Northeast Wisconsin in May of 2020, just as statewide COVID restrictions were being lifted. Its world premiere was held at the 2021 Bare Bones International Film & Music Festival, where Anthony Catalano was nominated for Best Experimental Feature Filmmaker.
Gravitas Ventures Acquisitions Coordinator Megan Huggins negotiated with Alex Nohe, Co-Founder of BloodSweatHoney, on behalf of the filmmaker.
