The film is produced by Noah Rotter, Annie Milligan, Hunter Milano, Jake Dvorsky and director James. It is co-written by Hunter Milano and Rotter.
“As soon as we saw the thrilling, unbearably tense Low Life, we knew we wanted to bring the film to audiences,” said Alex Williams, XYZ Manager of Acquisitions and Development. “Tyler is an immensely talented filmmaker and we can’t wait to unveil his debut.”
XYZ Films has also taken on Andy Mitton horror The Harbinger and Belgium’s Megalomaniac in recent months.
