Richard Zelniker’s Gritty High School Thriller Wows Audiences During
Week-Long Limited Theatrical Release In Los Angeles
November 21, 2014, Los Angeles, CA – Following a successful limited theatrical release last week at Laemmle’s prestigious Music Hall in Beverly Hills, Richard Zelniker’s much buzzed about thriller As Night Comes, is now available on iTunes to Pre-Buy.

What is even more exciting? Those who pre-buy the film receive exclusive Behind-The-Scenes peek into the making of As Night Comes, including interviews with Zelniker, the director, and cast.
As Night Comes is slated to go out to an estimated 100 million homes throughout the United States and Canada on December 5, 2014, via a VOD deal with distribution powerhouse Gravitas Ventures.
Recognized in the Los Angeles Times for its “power and authenticity,” As Night Comes, which was co-written by a then 16-year-old Ryan Koehn and Zelniker, is a provocative independent film that is recommended for parents and teens alike.
Seen through the eyes of teenagers trying to find their identity As Night Comes follows troubled new kid, Sean Holloway, who falls in with a group of teenage outcasts called ‘The Misfits,’ and under the wing of its dysfunctional yet charismatic leader, Ricky. On the eve of Halloween, Ricky’s anarchist plan for revenge spirals out of control, culminating in brutal violence, and ultimately Sean’s fight for survival and freedom.
The film, according to Zelniker, is “a dark, gritty look into the turbulent underworld of high school rebellion.”
Beacon Media agrees, calling it “a powerful, eye-opening, beautifully structured tapestry of images that will hopefully begin a much needed conversation” while also paying heed to the talented ensemble cast including the “particularly mesmerizing” Luke Baines who portrays bad boy, Ricky.
