Gravitas Ventures Unveils Trailer For ‘Penitentia’ Crime Drama/Thriller

‘Penitentia’ will be released on June 18, 2024 on Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango and other channels

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 28, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, today unveiled the trailer for the crime drama/thriller PENITENTIA. The film stars Glenn Stanton, Rusty Schwimmer, Chris Bylsma, Kate Flanagan, Nigel Vonas and Natasha Coppola-Shalom and written and directed by Chris Lawing.

PENITENTIA will be released on June 18, 2024 on Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango and numerous other channels. Penitentia will close its festival run at the LightReel Film Fest in early June.

In Penitentia, a prestigious job lulls Ale Villacano into the good life, until a pro bono case reawakens his instincts for justice. Caught between his criminal past and his promising future, Ale must decide what kind of lawyer he is really meant to be.

“For any indie filmmaker, the release date is both magical and terrifying. I’m just happy to finally be able to share this story with a wider audience, to honor my dad and all the people like him fighting the good fight,” said writer/director Chris Lawing.

The character of Ale’s mentor was inspired by Chris Lawing’s father, Jim Lawing, a prominent attorney from Wichita, Kansas. Jim was a member of the national board of directors for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and an active leader in the ACLU of Kansas. To recognize his career as a civil rights warrior, the ACLU of Kansas created the Jim Lawing Award in 2016 to honor defenders of the Constitution.
