FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Super Channel to air first season of Mennonite drug drama Pure Premieres January 22 at 10 p.m. ET Highly anticipated second season coming to Super Channel Fuse in Spring 2019 EDMONTON (December 19, 2018) – In advance of the highly anticipated Canadian premiere of the second season of Pure, Super Channel is pleased to give subscribers a chance to catch up on the first season of the acclaimed Mennonite drug drama, when it premieres Tuesday, January 22 at 10 p.m. ET on Super Channel Fuse. Each episode of the six-episode first season will also be available on Super Channel on Demand the day following its linear broadcast.

Inspired by true events, Pure follows the journey of Noah Funk, a newly-elected Mennonite pastor, who is determined to rid his community of the scourge of drugs and its nefarious ties to a transborder smuggling alliance with ruthless Mexican cocaine cartels. Pure stars Ryan Robbins (Arrow, Falling Skies, The Killing) as the good-hearted and conflicted pastor, Noah Funk, and Alex Paxton-Beesley (The Strain, Murdoch Mysteries) as his devoted wife, Anna. Season one also stars A.J. Buckley (SEAL Team, Murder in the First), Rosie Perez (Rise, Search Party), Peter Outerbridge (Taken, 12 Monkeys, The Expanse) and Gord Rand (Orphan Black). Super Channel has greenlit a sophomore season of the scripted series, with Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother, American Pie, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) joining the cast as a recurring guest star. Season Two of Pure is slated to premiere in Spring 2019. Pure is produced by Two East Productions and Cineflix Studios in association with Super Channel, WGN America, Hulu and the CBC. The series is created and written by Michael Amo (The Listener) with Ken Girotti (Orphan Black, Vikings) as series director. Amo and Girotti will serve as executive producers for the second season, along with Brett Burlock, Peter Emerson and David MacLeod (Call Me Fitz, Haven).

Production Notes
Samuel Hadida Presents A Silent Hill 2 DCP/Davis Films Production Adelaide Clemens, Kit Harington, Deborah Kara Unger, Martin Donovan, Malcolm McDowell, Carrie-Anne Moss and Sean Bean Directed and Written by Michael J Bassett An Open Road release Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/SilentHillRevelation Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com/SilentHillMovie Youtube: http://Youtube.com/OpenRoadFilms Website URL: http://www.SilentHill3D.com Lionsgate International Publicity Contacts Jill Jones 310-309-8435 [email protected] Melissa Martinez 310-309-8436 [email protected] Asmeeta Narayan 310-309-8453 [email protected] DDA PR Contact Alyssa Grinder [email protected] PRODUCTION NOTES For years, Heather Mason and her father Harry have been on the run, one step ahead of dangerous forces she does not understand. Now, on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and her father’s disappearance, Heather discovers she is not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deep into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever. SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D is based on Konami’s acclaimed survival horror video game franchise, but the film takes us beyond a mere adaptation with a storyline ideal for the big screen. Although it is a sequel to the first film (SILENT HILL, directed by Christophe Gans in 2006), this new installment stands on its own for new audiences. It will not only provoke shivers but will undoubtedly strike a deep personal chord with many viewers, including those familiar with the SILENT HILL world and those just discovering it. Samuel Hadida produced the film as well as the first SILENT HILL film.

Giant Little Ones
Presents GIANT LITTLE ONES A film by Keith Behrman (94 mins, Canada, 2018) Language: English Distribution Publicity Mongrel Media Inc Bonne Smith 1352 Dundas St. West Star PR Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Tel: 416-488-4436 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 Twitter: @starpr2 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com 1 GIANT LITTLE ONES PRODUCTION NOTES SYNOPSIS Franky Winter (Josh Wiggins) and Ballas Kohl (Darren Mann) have been best friends since childhood. They are high school royalty: handsome, stars of the swim team and popular with girls. They live a perfect teenage life – until the night of Franky's epic 17th birthday party, when Franky and Ballas are involved in an unexpected incident that changes their lives forever. Giant Little Ones is a heartfelt and intimate coming-of-age story about friendship, self-discovery and the power of love without labels. DIRECTOR NOTES – BY KEITH BEHRMAN I envisioned Giant Little Ones like the best of pop songs, instantly appealing with its energy and flow, drawing the audience along with ease – yet, by the end we have experienced something distinct and meaningful and are left with insights and feelings we didn’t see coming. Giant Little Ones leaps into the dramatic world of 17-year-old Franky Winter and his lifelong best friend, Ballas Kohl. Things have never been better for these guys: they’re popular among their peers, stars of their swim team and are entering exciting new terrain with their girlfriends. It is a time when erupting hormones and flourishing sexuality are coupled with a naiveté still lingering from childhood, when relationships and loyalties are changing along with a shifting sense of self.

LIVES of the SAINTS Synopsis
LIVES OF THE SAINTS Synopsis “Where pride is, the snake goes,” Italian proverb Adultery, the evil eye, and a snakebite are the circumstances that shape the childhood of Vittorio Innocente in the small village of Valle De Sole in a society dominated by religion and superstition. LIVES OF THE SAINTS begins in an Italy almost unchanged since the beginning of the last century—moving across time from the horrors of wartime Italy to the swinging counterculture that dominated Toronto in the late 60’s. This “intimate epic” travels from the sun-drenched Mediterranean to the frozen Arctic, to the flatlands of rural Ontario and finally back to the isolated hilltop village of Valle del Sole, Italy (Valley of the Sun), 20 years later in a story suffused with mystery, and betrayal. Who will pay for the sins and secrets of the family past? Vittorio’s turbulent childhood revolves around his love for his mother, Cristina, (whose husband Mario, has emigrated to Canada) but is informed by his Aunt Teresa (Sophia Loren). Also the village schoolteacher, she is his disciplinarian and his moral guide. To enhance his lessons, she uses stories from a religious picture book Lives of the Saints which she gives him 1 as a gift when he leaves Valle De Sole with his mother for the hope of a new and better life in Canada. A widow, Teresa is the glue that holds the family together while Cristina (Sabrina Ferilli), an independent spirit, is strong-willed and fiery. The village is full of whispers when Cristina is bitten in the barn by a poisonous snake.

Until she is reunited with Sophia -- the former friend who betrayed her. Together the girls embark on a dangerous search to uncover the horrifying truth behind their imprisonment. Soon running for their lives, the girls must save themselves or die trying. Press Materials: https://bit.ly/2CnEstv SYNOPSIS In the thematically rich fantasy from Danishka Esterhazy (Black Field; H&G), teenaged Vivien (Katie Douglas) and Sophia’s (Celina Martin) rebellious tendencies are only amplified by their surreal existence: locked away in a sterile top secret facility, they’re taught the finer points of "feminine virtues" by Miss Brixil (Sara Canning), a Stepford-like headmistress, and left to question what fate awaits them when they age out of the institution. They’ve been led to believe that all of the intense grooming regimens and strict sleep schedules they’ve endured have been in the service of making them ideal adoptive daughters for high-society families.
