The conservative news website The Daily Wire is branching out into scripted film and television, and their first distribution acquisition is writer/director Kyle Rankin's school shooter thriller Run Hide Fight, which stars Isabel May (recently seen in Let's Scare Julie, watch it HERE) as
a 17-year-old who must fight for her life and those of her schoolmates against a group of live-streaming terrorists.

Thomas Jane and Radha Mitchell are also in the cast.
Run Hide Fight will premiere during a Daily Wire backstage event on January 14th, then will be available to watch on the film's dedicated website.
If you're not someone who would check out a conservative website, Daily Wire's co-CEO Jeremy Boreing has assured that the entertainment the company puts out isn't intended to be overtly political. He told Deadline,
We had always imagined launching into entertainment with something developed in-house. But (producer Dallas Sonnier) shared the film with us, and told us about the challenges he was having finding a home for the picture despite the successful premiere at Venice. I was skeptical the film would be right for us, but when I saw the strength Isabel brought to Zoe and the honesty with which Kyle approached his subject while still delivering an entertaining feature, I was convinced this was our project. … Run Hide Fight is a preview of our plans and the type of movies and series we will offer in the not-too-distant future. Like this film, our entertainment content won’t be overtly political, but it will reflect our values. Our mission is simple: We will make great entertainment that all Americans can enjoy, regardless of their political views. If you’re fed-up with the cultural edicts of our country’s self-appointed moral overlords in Hollywood and legacy media, stay tuned."
Sonnier added,
We’re proud to work with The Daily Wire as the exclusive North American distributor for Run Hide Fight. The Daily Wire’s policy of not publishing the names of mass shooters made it an ideal partner. If this film has a political viewpoint, it’s that we should not make terrorists famous; it’s the heroes whose names we should remember. We spent years carefully developing this movie in consultation with law enforcement veterans and shooting victims to immerse people into a realistic portrayal of what it’s like to experience one of these tragedies."
Sonnier produced Run Hide Fight with Amanda Presmyk.
The movie looks interesting to me, a mix of disturbing thriller elements with some teenage Die Hard action.
