SOLD-OUT Post Apocalyptic "Permafrost" Premiere Features Prominent Utah Actors

Oct. 19, 2023, at Thanksgiving Point Megaplex, Lehi, UT, USA

Provo, UT, October 18, 2023: ”Permafrost,” an epic independent feature film, premieres tomorrow, October 19, 2023, in Lehi, Utah, to a sold-out audience of over 200. The event includes a red-carpet and poster-signing event with the cast.

The film’s post-apocalyptic, frozen-world scenes—featuring breathtaking winterscapes from Wasatch County and the Uintah-Wasatch-Cache National Forest—follow a ruthless, broken bounty hunter as he struggles to survive while competing with warring factions for a high-value target.

Lenni Uitto and Riley Hardy star in the film, supported by prominent Utah actors, including (listed alphabetically) Musa Aden (Malbatt: Misi Bakara), Sila Agavale (Gonzo Girl), Charla Bocchicchio (The Chosen), Cory Dangerfield (Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween), and Kalli Therinae (You’re Killing Me).

NFL stars Bronson Kaufusi and Corbin Kaufusi add muscle to the cast, in addition to many other local actors and crew members.

Matching the beautiful cinematography is an equally stunning soundtrack from film score composer Yann Latour. The soundtrack is available on music platforms and there are currently plans in the works for a limited vinyl release.

Lenni Uitto, who wrote and directed the film, described the plot, saying, “The film is about a broken bounty hunter who roams the frozen wasteland, only to find redemption in an unlikely place. Metaphorically, a lot of people fall down, but the important thing is you need to get up. When hard times come, work through it. This is not your typical post-apocalyptic film that focuses on just doom and gloom. There's an uplifting ending."

Xelot Film is based in Provo, Utah. Led by Lenni Uitto, the company focuses on producing “awesome films that emotionally move people.”
