EXCLUSIVE: Director Drew Walkup, and writers Adam Armstrong and Marcus DeVivo—the creative team behind the upcoming indie thriller Endangered—have signed with Zero Gravity Management for representation.

The trio’s debut feature centers on an aspiring architect, who spends her evenings trying to make ends meet as a ride-share driver. While wrapping up her shift, she decides to take on one last passenger – only to find herself in unexpected danger when she discovers the mysterious stranger is not who he appears to be. The film was released on VOD on July 26th, after a successful 2020/2021 festival run, and currently holds a 100% ‘Fresh’ Rotten Tomatoes score.
