Post-apocalyptic romance drama Little Deaths from LA/Louisville-based Bullish Productions is now available on video-on-demand and digital in the United States, Canada, and the UK. Entertainment Squad acquired worldwide rights earlier this year.
Written and directed by Brian Follmer, Little Deaths follows a young American couple who, after a mishandled pandemic sparks political revolution, escape to a remote jungle village. As the threat of a deadly illness looms, their tepid romance is reawakened by a vow to seek ultimate pleasure before taking their fate into their own hands.
Little Deaths won multiple awards during its festival run including ‘Best Arthouse/Experimental Feature’ and ‘Best Performance by a Cast’ at the 2023 Sheman Oaks Film Festival.
UK Film Review called it “compellingly fresh and original” with “two outstanding performances” by lead actors Kerri Lee Romeo (Inside the Rain) and Adam Leotta (Out of Sight, Out of Mind), who also produced the film alongside Nicole Alibayof and writer/director Brian Follmer.
The film was shot on location in Yucután, Mexico. Producer/star Kerri Lee Romeo said “from the vibrant architecture of Merida to the sleepy coastal towns and natural wonders like cenotes, the region helped create the film’s unique, darkly romantic atmosphere.”

Kerri’s co-star, Adam Leotta, added: “When Brian [Follmer] first approached me about making ‘Little Deaths’ he showed me this dark and untamed script about modern romance under the strain of plague and social turmoil – which became even more relevant because of the Covid pandemic. I knew we had to make this movie.”
“Little Deaths captures the raw emotion and resilience of the human spirit, offering a timely reflection on love and survival in our ever-changing world” said Shaked Berenson, CEO of Entertainment Squad.
Producer Nicole Alibayof added: “Little Deaths flirts with a sub-genre that has been dead since the 90s; the erotic thriller. It nails the distinct flavor of confusion so obviously apparent in today’s youth and leaves us with an unmistakable sense of what-the-heck-was-that? All the ingredients of what could become a cult classic.”
Entertainment Squad is a boutique distribution company founded by industry veteran Shaked Berenson. Previous releases include Tribeca’s Audience Award Winner dramedy, Cherry, and SXSW Selection, Peak Season.
Bullish Productions is a film cooperative composed of Adam Leotta, Brian Follmer, Kerri Lee Romeo, and Nicole Alibayof.
