Dark Thriller Sets Digital Debut for North American VOD Platforms and on DVD on August 16, 2024
THE MIDNIGHT GAG follows the conflict between a private detective and a brutal serial killer who has viciously assaulted his client. Travis Jackson, a respected and experienced detective, is still trying to come to grips with the tragic death of his wife from an unsolved hit-and-run incident. Now dating a new girlfriend, his hoped-for recovery suffers a severe setback when a young girl named Sofia contacts him to report that a stranger has assaulted her. After Jackson reluctantly agrees to investigate, strange inexplicable events begin to occur. Is Sofia’s assault the work of a fearless psychopath who is luring his victims into sinister traps, or breaking into their residences only to leave behind messages so chilling they will never be forgotten?
Written, directed, and produced by Luc Ziann (THE REDNEG), THE MIDNIGHT GAG has a cast featuring Luc Ziann (‘Detective Travis Jackson’), Brodin Ference (‘Bones’), Morgan Oijen (‘Sofia’), and Anna Garoucheva Gonzalez (‘Jane’).
"It is hard to make low-budget independent movies,” said filmmaker Luc Ziann. “You simply have to take what you have and make the best out of it. I filmed myself in many scenes and did pretty much everything myself."
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire THE MIDNIGHT GAG directly with filmmaker Luc Ziann.
