Andrew Jara is proud to announce the award-winning cosmic horror film “The Empty Space” will be released on May 30th to VOD and Blu-Ray through BayView Entertainment.
The Andrew Jara-directed film stars Joe Sinclitico along with Valerie Alene, Rachel Olsen, and Pablo Medina. The film tells the story of a woman (Alene) going to a support group for anxiety and depression after a violent attack left her boyfriend dead. When her boyfriend seemingly returns from the dead, she will have to face her fears to find out exactly who or what has come back before she loses her grip on reality.
The character-driven horror deals with a subject personal to the writer/director: mental health. “This movie was written as I was coming to terms with my own mental illness. Using the tropes and techniques of the horror genre, I wanted to find a way to give the audience a very intense visceral experience so they could feel both the dark as well as the slivers of light. Hopefully, this gives a fresh perspective to living with anxiety and depression that lets the viewers know that they aren’t alone in this,” Jara stated.
The film went on to win “Best of the Fest” at the 14th Sacramento Film Festival, Second Place at the Horror Hotel Film Festival, and was a finalist at the Oaxaca Filmfest.
“I feel very close to this film, as it feels like a part of my life for so long. As we were prepping for festivals, the pandemic hit, which delayed everything. It truly has become a movie that proves that independent film is alive and well,” says Jara.
“The Empty Space” will be released on May 30th on Blu-ray and VOD platforms. Trailer and press kit are attached to this email.

Brazilian-based OffiSys Sistemas migrates its ProFilme.NET application to a native browser-based solution using Ice Tea Group’s Wisej.NET Web Framework.
WASHINGTON, May 16, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Ice Tea Group, the leading specialist for enterprise-scale web migrations, announces the rollout of ProFilme.NET, a browser-native solution for the South-American Film industry. With over 30 years of experience in software development for the entertainment and advertising industry, Ivan George Borges, the CEO of OffiSys Sistemas, chose Wisej.NET to modernize their application and keep their customers competitive in the changing market.
Wisej.NET, a rapid .NET web development framework, allowed OffiSys Sistemas to quickly migrate their application from a Windows Desktop-based solution to a fully native web-based application. The framework simplified the complexities of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and allowed the development team to focus on the core features of the application.
The Wisej.NET framework also provided a graphical UI designer, which enabled the team to reuse a significant portion of their existing code, resulting in a smoother and more beautiful user interface compared to the previous WinForms version of the application. Integration with external JavaScript controls, such as DevExpress, was also seamless, thanks to Wisej.NET’s open architecture.
One of the essential aspects of Wisej.NET was the excellent support provided by Ice Tea Group, the makers of Wisej.NET. Borges appreciated their great commercial and friendly relationship, and their readiness to listen to their customers’ needs.
OffiSys Sistemas is a longtime partner for the film industry and audiovisual producers and offers a cloud solution provider for Microsoft. With the migration of their flagship product, ProFilme.NET, to a native browser-based solution, they have modernized their application, improved their customer experience, and kept up with the changing market conditions.
