Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films shares, “Crypto Shadows will keep you on the edge of your seat and have you looking over your shoulder. This is a powerful performance that is also a great representation of women in tech.”
Director James Fox says, “In Crypto Shadows, we’ve woven a tapestry of intrigue and introspection, inviting audiences on a journey where the line between reality and perception tantalizingly blurs. It’s a cinematic exploration that promises not only to entertain but also to ignite meaningful dialogue on the profound impact of our mental landscapes.”
“We’ve been deeply committed to crafting a film that not only pushes the boundaries of sci-fi but also thoughtfully delves into the complexities of mental health, bringing to life a story that’s as engaging as it is significant,” says industry veteran and producer, Colleen Keane. “As producers of Crypto Shadows, we’re especially proud to champion a woman-led film that not only breaks new ground in sci-fi storytelling but also underscores the importance of female perspectives in exploring vital themes of women in tech, and the many challenges they face.”
Monique R White, California Pictures adds, “Mikayla knocks it out of the park with her outstanding solo performance as a woman battling mental health issues while fighting for her life in this non-stop thriller that keeps on delivering.”
Crypto Shadows will be available on streaming and cable platforms across the US and Canada followed by DVD at on-line retailers.
