Vision Films adds action feature "Called to Duty" to its slate

As the film world heads to EFM Berlin, Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of indie film distributor Vision Films (“Vision”), announces the acquisition of "Called to Duty" from production company Cinemaddict Films. It is available for international sales and licensing and Vision will release the film day-and-date on theatrical and all transactional VOD platforms in July 2023 across the US and Canada.

The film centers around a squadron of female Navy air show pilots sent into battle because of their exceptional aerial skills. Based on true world events involving North Korea and their frequent ballistic missile tests used as threats against the United States, the film recognizes the role of female pilots in today’s military. Directed by female director Ashley Gibson and produced by Henry Penzi and Sonny Goldfin.

Lise Romanoff shares, “Vision has found tremendous success with the action-adventure genre and audiences will love this thrill ride! It is a win-win that this film is not only about strong female protagonists but also has a female director. The first ever female pilots highlighted this year at the Super Bowl only reinforces the importance of showcasing ALL members of our military and their vital role in our society.”

Producer Sonny Goldfin says, “We are really excited about catapulting this project into the sky with Vision films. I've always had an admiration for fighter jets and this project has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. We are so glad to see it finally get wings and take flight.”
