The deal was negotiated by Jessica Bennett and Andre Relis of VMI Worldwide and producer Michael Lombardi and Tiffany Boyle of Ramo Law on behalf of the filmmakers.

The flick, which is from Better Noise Films, producers of The Dirt, follows an upstanding pastor who uncovers a dark and twisted underworld as he searches for answers surrounding his daughter’s brutal murder. Samuel Gonzalez Jr., Michael Lombardi, and Bridget Smith direct from a script by the Geare Brothers, Darren Geare and Jeff Allen Geare.

The film’s cast is led by Michael Lombardi (Rescue Me), Marc Menchaca (Ozark), and Joseph Gatt (Game of Thrones).

“The Retaliators dives into the depths of humanity showcasing how far one man would go for revenge, painted on a backdrop of blood and gore. We are thrilled to present The Retaliators at TIFF, a film featuring original music by some of the most successful metal bands of all time and most exciting up-and-coming rock bands today, marrying exceptional filmmaking with the soundtrack will elevate the level of thrills and chills to new heights,” says Andre Relis, CEO and Founder of VMI Worldwide.
