Henderson/Los Angeles-based Global Genesis Group (Ggg) has picked up worldwide distribution rights to Dominican filmmaker Leticia Tonos’ latest film, “A State of Madness” (“Mis 500 Locos”).
Set in 1953, the drama is based on the memoir of Dr. Antonio Zaglul, considered the father of Dominican psychiatry, who wrote about his experience in running a mental institution during the brutal dictatorship of President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo.
“Dr. Zaglul managed to overcome the limitations and dangers he faced and take care of these marginalized, and often misunderstood, people,” said Tonos, adding: “Mental illness is still very much misjudged by society in general; it’s a timely story.”
“Tonos is an amazing director, and we’re thrilled to start a relationship with such a talented filmmaker whose eye for storytelling, characters and visuals deserves to be recognized,” said Charles Morris Jr., VP of Development and Acquisitions at Global Genesis Group.

Underground
Stars: Sofia Pernas, Adrian R Mante, Eric Abercrombie, Christine Evangelista, Jeff D’Agostino, Megan Hensley, Megan Hensley, Adam Meirick | Written by Charles Morris Jr. | Directed by Rafael Eisenman
Horror is about finding what scares us, or makes us feel uncomfortable and using that against us. It’s that fear of the dark, or the sudden attack out of nowhere, or that shadowy figure following us at night. One of the scenarios that seem to be popular is the fear of being trapped underground and attacked by creatures that are more adapted to that environment. We’ve had Creep, The Descent, Urban Explorers and now Underground, just to name a few.
When a group of friends get stuck underground after a fight at a party on an abandoned army base they find themselves being hunted by creatures in the darkness. As they fight for survival and to save their friends...

Director: Rafael Eisenman.
Writer: Charles Morris Jr.
Cast: Ross Thomas, Sophia Pernas, Adrian R’Mante, Hayley Knight, Christine Evangelista, Adam Meirick, Megan Hensley, Jack Donner, Chaz Allen, and Jeff D'Agostino.
When military science creates monstrosities that go berserk in the intro to Underground, one possible solution is to send in the Special Forces to mop up with a few mortar shells and a flamethrower. Obviously someone forgot to bring these big guns. The soldiers become yesterday’s news, leaving what happens next a tale of survival.
A few years later, the base is abandoned and it gets used as the location for a rave. Lonely soldier boy, Matt Wilcox (Ross Thomas), has finished his tour of duty—presumably without a scratch—and is meeting his pals there. He introduces his girlfriend, Mira (Sofia Pernas), to Eric (Jeff D'Agostino), Storm (Adrian R’Mante), Jenna (Christine Evangelista) and Evie (Hayley Knight).
