Angel Studios, the renowned studio and distributor celebrated for the global blockbuster SOUND OF FREEDOM, is gearing up to take audiences on a thrilling ride with the upcoming theatrical release of its first-ever Angel Original film, The Shift, scheduled for December 1, 2023. This ambitious sci-fi thriller boasts an ensemble cast featuring Neal McDonough, Sean Astin, Kristoffer Polaha, Liz Tabish, Paras Patel, and Rose Reid. Written and directed by Brock Heasley and produced by Ken Carpenter’s Nook Lane Entertainment.
The Shift appears to defy genre conventions, offering a unique blend of science fiction, romance, and allegory. Jeffrey Harmon, Chief Content Officer of Angel Studios, expressed his excitement about the project, saying,
“THE SHIFT is a bold project that defies labels and is unlike anything in the market. Director Brock Heasley’s dedication, tenacity, and vision remind me of our history at Angel. Eight years ago, he came up with a concept and made a short film for $500. Then, Brock joined up with our team, an incredible cast, and the Angel Guild to crowdfund and produce a one-of-a-kind project. The origin story of funding and producing ‘THE SHIFT’ is as unique and compelling as the plot of the film itself. I believe many up-and-coming filmmakers will model their own careers after what Brock Heasley has accomplished with Angel Studios.”

“The creative ethos at Angel fostered the opportunity to shape this unique blend of sci-fi, romance, and allegory,” added Ken Carpenter, Producer of The Shift. “They gave us the runway to make a film that charts new territory.”
