LOS
ANGELES, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Films
Inc. ("Vision") announces the acquisition of The Lady of
The Lake: The Legend of Lake Ronkonkoma from writer,
director, and producer Maria Capp
for worldwide VOD distribution rights. Based on the Native American
folklore of the Princess of Lake Ronkonkoma, the movie was filmed
in the actual childhood home of the Ronkonkoma-raised filmmaker.
The thriller uses the legend as the backdrop for a modern-day tale
designed to resonate with anyone grieving the loss of a loved one.
Also produced by Kristi Kilday,
Jillian Pugliese, Anna Giglio, and Raffaela Capp, and casting by Liz Lewis C.S.A. and team. The film premiered at
this past weekend's Long Island International Film Expo and after a
limited theatrical run it will be available on Transactional VOD
across North American on August 27,
2024.
Filmmaker Maria Capp made a
dedicated effort to tell a story and include a population that is
inclusive; she proudly employed over 80% Native America,
multicultural, and LGBTQIA+ identifying cast and crew, earning her
a Women in Media Parity Badge. NewYorkRep.org selected Capp as
featured female storyteller, a mentorship accolade that supports
female storytellers focusing on oppression, social injustice,
diversity, and inclusion.
Synopsis: Native folklore says the Lady of the Lake will
take any man who enters her domain. A young Native American woman,
grieving the loss of her brother in the lake, is determined to
uncover its secrets.

The film stars Seth Gilliam
(The Walking Dead) and Nia Sioux (Dance Moms) as the
father – daughter protagonists, and also features Larry Saperstein (High School Musical: The
Musical, TV Series), Emery Kelly
(Netflix's Alexa & Katie), Steven Thomas Capp (Fat Camp), and
Julie Dove (Days of our
Lives). Lise Romanoff,
CEO/Managing Director of Vision Films says, "The Lady of The
Lake is an edge of your seat thriller based on legend and
lore, but uniquely also pulls at your heartstrings as it explores a
father's understanding of his fraught teenage daughter in the
wake of their family's tragic loss."
Filmmaker Maria Capp shares,
"Grateful to partner with Vision Films. Lise and her team's
cumulative experience has been invaluable. Their alignment in my
desire to tell this story about my childhood home, Lake Ronkonkoma,
and include the experiences and people I love and desire to work
with, is absolutely refreshing."
