FREESTYLE DIGITAL MEDIA ACQUIRES RAMIN SOHRAB’S FINNISH-IRANIAN ACTION FEATURE “LAYERS OF LIES” FOR JANUARY RELEASE

Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired U.S. VOD rights to the Iranian action feature LAYERS OF LIES, which will be available to rent/own on all U.S. digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting on January 23, 2023, through Freestyle Digital Media.

LAYERS OF LIES is an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride that follows a man’s journey back home through the bustling, diverse metropolis of Tehran. Returning to Iran after many years in exile in Finland, Sam (Ramin Sohrab) finds that he has not yet escaped his past. In order to drag him into a violent scheme for revenge, a shady figure kidnaps Sam’s wife, Emma (Jessica Wolff). But Sam is a relentless fighting machine who will stop at nothing to rescue the woman he loves. When it comes to deciding their future, the past will not stand in their way.

Directed by Ramin Sohrab, LAYERS OF LIES was co-written by Sohrab & Chris Larsen, and produced by Jonna Enroth, Ramin Sohrab and Mohsen Sarafi. The featured cast of LAYERS OF LIES includes Ramin Sohrab (‘Sam Kashani’) and Jessica Wolff (‘Emma’). Timo and Teemu Lahtinen of Smile Entertainment are Executive Producers along with Glenn Kendrick Ackermann and David Marsh.

“LAYERS OF LIES is a feature film that combines classic action drama with the power of low-budget filmmaking,” said filmmaker Ramin Sohrab. “This is not just another action movie, it is the first Finnish-Iranian action film–a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty of diversity. It celebrates both cultures and brings them together in a way that has never been done before, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with such a talented cast and crew to bring it to fruition.”

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire LAYERS OF LIES directly with Executive Producers Glenn Kendrick Ackermann and David Marsh.
