Indican Pictures to Release the Dramatic Thriller Painless on Digital Platforms this October 2nd!

Tagline: "If You Can't Feel Pain, How Do You Know You Are Alive?"

Painless is a dramatic thriller, based on the real life struggles of Henry Long. In the film, Long is played by Joey Klein ("12 Monkeys"). Long cannot feel physical pain, causing distress. When Joey meets Shani (Evalena Marie, "True Blood"), he is motivated to find his own cure, in the face of corrupt doctors. Painless recently started a theatrical run, in Los Angeles, at the Laemmle Music Hall. This theatrical showing brought the film's director, Jordan Horowitz (Angel of Nanjing) to the premiere and a couple of subsequent showings. Now, Painless is set to show on home entertainment platforms in early October, through Indican Pictures.

The trailer begins with the character Henry. He explains the nature and purpose of pain, in a subway train. He has a run-in with another passenger, which reveals more details on his personal struggles. Part rogue scientist, Henry searches for a way to reverse his condition, so he can finally relate to others as he would like to.

Painless has been showing at a number of film festivals, throughout the year. Reviewers have weighed-in on the film. Kimber Myers, of the Los Angeles Times, was fascinated with the film and its core plot. She says of the film: "[it is] a compelling watch beyond its central idea." Marina Antunes of Quiet Earth mentions the film's central focus: "on the struggle of living without pain and how that affects day-to-day life." The film is a real life look at a rare disease, where finding a cure might be impossible.

Indican Pictures will show Horowitz's Painless on DVD and Digital platforms this October 2nd. On this date, Painless will be available on most Digital hosters. And, Painless promises an in-depth look at a real life disorder and the struggles of Henry Long to conquer it.
