Poster for Harley Wallen’s newest flick “Fathers” starring Kaiti Wallen, Jerry Hayes, Deon Hunt, and Emilia Linnea

Fathers is a Painted Creek Productions Horror/Thriller with a mystery angle to the dilemma of the kidnapped young girl Natalie as she suddenly has more FATHERS than she bargained for in this very inspired psychological film. It stars Kaiti Wallen (Beneath Us All), Jerry Hayes (Ash and Bone), Deon Hunt (Finding Nicole) and Emilia Linnea (Tale of Tails) playing the young version of Natalie with Harley Wallen himself rounding out the main cast.

“ I feel we have something really special that was palpable already on set, it just felt like we were all really getting it and all of us making the same movie!” Said Wallen who wrote and co produced with his wife Kaiti and Jeff Berry (Final Recovery), Leslie Mechigian (Chasing Hope), Joe Williamson (Spiderbaby or the Maddest Story Ever Told), Jason Faucher (Beneath Us All), Bradford Clark (Birth of a Savage) and Joseph Quick (If I Can’t Have You) with Unorthodox Outcast Studios and Deon Hunt (Finding Nicole) of Hunt Genesis Production.

Wallen’s film has a bit of a A24 feel so if that’s your speed this is one to look out for in 2025. Wallen is predicting a film festival run before the release as they already have multiple offers on the film based on the screenplay alone. 2025 looks to be a busy year with multiple films releasing for Wallen the Christmas Horror/Thriller “Final Recovery” set against the backdrop of Opiod Addiction and the True Story “Finding Nicole” as first seen on “Inside Evil” with Chris Cuomo. “I’m looking forward to a busy year” said Wallen. Both Harley and Kaiti Wallen are repped by The Williamson Management Company.
