The film will debut with a grand red-carpet event on May 4th at the Caribbean Cinemas Megaplex 8, Choc Estate. The premiere will be attended by the film’s cast, crew, sponsors, and specially invited guests. A limited number of tickets will be available for public purchase, offering fans the exclusive opportunity to be among the first to view the film alongside the cast before its official release, as well as to take photos with the cast.

The film, starring Kareem Stanley and Chianne Cools, is a deeply moving drama that explores love, loss, and the silent battles men face with depression and suicide. The story follows a man struggling with heartache after losing the love of his life, only to find an unexpected second chance at love in the most unlikely place.

Shot on digital, Heartfall has been uniquely crafted by Anatole, who also handled the film’s editing and color grading. Through a meticulous conversion process, the film emulates the texture and warmth of traditional film, offering audiences a nostalgic and immersive cinematic experience.

Elijah Anatole, founder of Artlas Studios, expressed his excitement about the film’s release: “This film is a passion project that not only tells a powerful love story but also sheds light on the mental health struggles that many men endure in silence. I hope it resonates with audiences and sparks meaningful conversations.”

Anatole also took the time to acknowledge the key sponsors who helped bring this project to life: “A huge thank you to Ottis Effs and KFC St. Lucia, who generously provided lunch and dinner for the entire shooting period and also allowed us to film at one of their locations. Special thanks to Jhotége Pamphile of Royal Touch for sponsoring her services to the film, Bryan Devaux of Adventure Tours St. Lucia for providing one of his buggies for filming, Dr. Natasha St. Aimee and Malcom Augustin for opening their newly built home to us for filming, as well as Elena’s Ice Cream, Massy Stores SLU, Bambooze, Toraille Waterfall ATVPARK, IGY Marina, Courtesy Car Rental, Lazarus Funeral Home, Coco Palm Hotel, and Allen Chastanet. Of course, I am also immensely grateful to the entire cast and crew for their dedication to this film.”

Heartfall is also set for a U.S. and worldwide release in the near future, bringing its heartfelt narrative and stunning visuals to a global audience.
