Gravitas Ventures has acquired rights to the 35-year-old Colombian director and comedian Dreamland: A Storming Area 51 Story.
The film, slated for domestic release later this year, watches as the life-long alien enthusiast and comedian Moreno hires a wild crew to follow him on his extra-terrestrial fact-finding adventure to the viral “Storming Area 51” event.
While nothing turns out as planned, the adventure is certainly one of a kind.
Comedians Andy Kozel, Natasha Pearl Hansen, David Murphy and Griff Pippin also appear in the comedic adventure pic from producers Geoffrey McNeil, Jed Rhein and Brian Schlesinger. Moreno served as EP, with Roberto Ahumada and Anton Fair as co-producers.
Gravitas Ventures’ Manager of AcquisitionsBrett Rogalsky negotiated the deal for Dreamland with Moreno and to the 35-year-old Colombian director and comedian on behalf of the filmmakers.
