    SOCIAL DISTANCE is a feature film shot entirely while on lockdown from April-June of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

    Huntington Beach, CA -- (SPW) --

    The pandemic thriller "Social Distance" gets a worldwide release on November 21, 2020 from Koa Aloha Media.

    "Social Distance" is a voyeuristic look into the lives of six people working from home while in quarantine during the 2020 pandemic. Each must battle the destructive demons of isolation, addiction, jealousy, and conspiracy.

    The movie will be released in more than 100 markets worldwide on VOD, DVD and Blu-Ray on November 21, 2020. VOD outlets include iTunes, Amazon, Google, YouTube, Vudu, and Vmeo.

    This thriller is a one-of-a-kind production – It was filmed entirely while filmmakers and actors were in their own isolation, during the quarantine period from April to June.

    The process of making this movie was very non-traditional. During the 2020 pandemic, a group of veteran filmmakers and actors came together to create from afar. At times, the visual effects within "Social Distance" give the feeling of a video conference, a live stream, a computer screen, or a webcam.  However, it was not filmed as a "video conferencing" movie. The actors were directed through video conferencing and each segment of the movie was recorded separately and pieced together. While it may not feel like it, "Social Distance" is an effects heavy film.

    The movie is written and directed by B. Luciano Barsuglia. It stars Vernon Wells (The Road Warrior, Commando), Jed Rowen (The Ghastly Love of Johnny X), Rachel Riley (Enigma), Kasey Brown (Green Room) and has a strong supporting cast.

    "When I first wrote the screenplay, I was worried that I might have taken a few too many creative liberties and it might look overly exaggerated," says Barsuglia. "In retrospect, the finished film feels more like a reflection of reality than I could have anticipated."

    The movie has been finding success on the independent festival circuit winning nine awards to-date, including a Best Actor nod for Vernon Wells at the NYC Indie Film Awards.

    Leading West Coast Rep Firm Unveils One of Ones, Expands Team and Talent Offering

    Monday, December 8, 2025
    One of Ones - Ezra Burke & Sylvia Brach

    With decades of experience working across multiple facets of filmmaking and talent management, Ezra Burke has arrived at one universal truth: it’s human creativity that makes a film unforgettable. And as a pledge to the entire community of filmmakers everywhere, West Coast Rep firm Content Chemics becomes One of Ones. The re-brand for the long-standing firm has been a year in the making, sparked by the addition of Sales Rep Sylvia Brach. “When Sylvia and I first met we spent hours sharing stories of our journeys and what inspired us. Our paths into advertising were very different; mine via the feature film world while Sylvia’s came via the agency side. But what we shared was a passionate commitment to working with people who bring out the best in us.” Energized by this commitment to the creative community, One of Ones have expanded their roster with the addition of four new companies over the past year. Earlier this year Ezra and team re-united with SKUNK founder Matt Factor and director John Hillcoat, followed by the signing of Field Day Sound, the 2025 AdAge Music & Sound Company of the Year. Premiere VFX studio Selected Works joined the roster over the summer. And most recently Ezra and Sylvia have brought on Group Thrpy, the production company founded by Shelby Ross and director Harrison Boyce. www.oneofones.com Read More
