Adam Cushman’s psychological thriller RESTRAINT starring Dana Ashbrook (Twin Peaks, Late Phases) has been acquired by Breaking Glass Pictures for North America and Canada. The film will hit all US VOD platforms and DVD tomorrow 11/6.


This winner for Best Director at Downtown LA Film Festival and Best Film at Rhode Island Film Festival tells the story of a mentally unstable young woman who has submerged her violent impulses for years, and moves in with her new husband and his daughter. When she becomes unexpectedly pregnant, her demons emerge–and as she loses control, the family is threatened by her sudden plunge into darkness.

About the Author

From humble beginnings as a bisexual art kid who drank more coffee than a 40-year-old author, Remy now holds a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University and is a proud member of the HorrorBuzz team (and still a bisexual art kid who drinks too much coffee). They were first introduced to the world of horror and camp when their grandma showed them The Rocky Horror Picture Show at age 5, and never looked back. When they're not writing cartoons or working on movies, one can spot them in various clubs around Los Angeles performing very, very self-deprecating standup comedy. Howdy ho!
