Jeremy Torrie is about to get his wish. The Corruption of Divine Providence, the film that Torrie wrote and directed, will have its Canada-wide release today, Tuesday, May 25. It will debut via video on demand and early electronic sell-through, distributed in English Canada via Vortex Media.
“I want everybody to be able to experience it because you can definitely say you’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Torrie, an Ojibwe from Wauzhushk Onigum First Nation in northwest Ontario.
“I didn’t make for it to be confusing. I wanted it to be entertaining. I wanted people to be immersed in the story and kind of be curious about this world and what’s going on and hopefully have it linger a little bit in their minds after they’ve finished watching.”
Starring Ali Skovbye, David La Haye, Elyse Levesque
