  • "Hitting the Apex" Available in Theaters November 17

Los Angeles, CA – The heart-pounding, high-intensity feature film Hitting the Apex is racing into theaters November 17, 2015, for a one-night nationwide event.

Hitting the Apex, produced and narrated by Brad Pitt, is the inside story of six fighters—six of the fastest motorcycle racers of all time—and of the fates that awaited them at the peak of the sport. It's the story of what is at stake for all of them: all that can be won, and all that can be lost, when you go chasing glory at over two hundred miles an hour—on a motorcycle.

TheatriCast, the new event cinema initiative from Different Drummer and Tugg, is releasing the film and exclusive event content on more than forty screens, determined by the demands and data of racing and motorcycle fans across North America. Hitting the Apex has had successful theatrical launches in the UK, Italy, and Spain.

Tickets are available for online purchase now at www.theatricast.com/hitting-the-apex 

"Mark and his team are exceptional storytellers who have created the ultimate event film," said Erik Lokkesmoe, co-founder of TheatriCast and CEO of Different Drummer. "Moto racing fans and many others will enjoy the speed, the intensity, the drama, and the cinema experience around this incredible sport. Audiences will be leaning forward in their seats from start to finish. We are proud to be partnering with such a great film and filmmaker."

Andrew Herwitz from Film Sales Corp and Josh Deal from TheatriCast negotiated the deal. 

"We know this film has a devoted audience right across North America," said Mark Neale, Hitting the Apex director, writer, and producer. "Partnering with TheatriCast gives our audience the opportunity to experience Hitting the Apex in the best possible way: on the big screen, spectacular and loud, with a crowd of friends and fellow racing fans. It should make for a great night out and a thrilling theatrical experience."
