Julienne Davis Stars in the Sci-Fi Thriller 'Fear Frequency'

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Actress Julienne Davis (“Eyes Wide Shut”) stars in the new science-fiction thriller “Fear Frequency,” now available on Amazon.

“I’m very grateful to see this film arrive on Amazon and give audiences a chance to experience this amazing story,” said Davis who also produces. “I’m especially proud to be a part of this talented team that worked so hard to make this female-centric film a reality.”

Directed by first-time feature film director Laura Russo (“Road Reps”) and written by Russo and Tim Huddleston (“Fallen”), “Fear Frequency” stars Davis as Jackie, a well-known singer and actress who has transformed herself into Jax, an online conspiracy theorist who has amassed millions of followers who hang on every word of her frequent video blogs exposing a secret society known as The Parliament. But when a global internet blackout strikes, Jackie finds herself isolated and without an audience as the line between delusion and reality begins to blur.

The film also stars Jennifer Khoe (“Superman & Lois”), Huddleston and Russo, who makes a cameo as next-door neighbor Kristin.

With a female-driven project where the lead role, the majority cast, director, one of the writers and two of the three producers being female, the production team is already seeing the fruits of their labor. Davis has earned two Best Actress Awards, including one from the Hallucinea Festival in Paris and the other from Horrors4You Festival in London.

Other awards include a Best Film Award from the L.A. Sci-Fi & Horror Festival and a Best Thriller from the Toronto International Women’s Film Festival. The film also received an Honorable Mention from the Berlin Indie Film Festival and was a Semi-Finalist at the Atlanta Renegade Film Festival.

“It was wonderful to see the film and this character in particular resonate with fans,” Davis said of her leading role. “It was a great opportunity to play a strong woman who goes from a place of confidence and strength to one where she slowly starts losing her sanity and must struggle to try to regain herself.”

With a backdrop of technology and science fiction, the film addresses many current social issues like rampant conspiracy theories, online disinformation and how fear, paranoia and isolation, due to a global pandemic can unravel the mind.

“Our film pulls back the curtain on how isolation and online addiction can cause us to lose our sense of self, blurring the line between reality and fiction,” Russo said. “Resulting in an intense and compelling tale that’s as unique and strange as the times we’re living in.”

But having the production take place during a raging pandemic forced the producers to adapt to new production guidelines to ensure safety for cast and crew.

“Tim Huddleston and I had to craft a screenplay with all of the COVID-19 challenges and restrictions in mind—a minimal cast, a single location, a shoestring budget and a skeleton crew,” Russo said. “To reduce shooting time, we combined our DP’s footage with other media, using cell phone journals and laptop video blogs, relying on Tim’s spot-on dialogue to provide a window into Jackie’s disintegrating mind.”

Known for her role as the iconic Mandy Curran in Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” and playing opposite Dennis Hopper in thriller “House of 9,” Davis’s television work also includes series regular in the BBC’s series “Too Much Sun,” As well as numerous guest stars on shows like the UK’s “The Bill” “My Crazy Ex,” “Doctor Who,” “Urban Gothic,” and many others.

“Fear Frequency” was produced by Laura Russo, Tim Huddleston and Julienne Davis for RHD Films, with Russo as director, cinematography by Jonathan Coyne, production design by Jay Strongman and editing by Dave Edison and Huddleston. The film is distributed by Juno Films.
