Director of Acquisitions at Gravitas Ventures, Josh Spector, commented, “Alpha Gateway is the kind of smart science fiction film that genre and independent filmgoers alike love and we are thrilled to be bringing John’s film to North American audiences in the first quarter of 2018.”
An impressive array of talent stars alongside McKenzie in this keenly anticipated thriller, including Myles Pollard (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Ben Mortley (Lantana), Haley McElhinney (The Babadook), Shannon Berry (Hunters) and upcoming NIDA talent Ryan Panizza.
