BayView Entertainment has announced the worldwide digital release of Velvicide, a psychological thriller from 30-time award-winning filmmaker Kenneth Perkins. The feature marks Perkins’ first full-length film following several short projects completed since 2021.
Velvicide centers on Velvet Stevens, a woman who agrees to recount her abduction for a true-crime documentary. As her story unfolds, inconsistencies begin to surface, prompting the film crew to question whether they are witnessing a survivor’s testimony or something far more calculated. What begins as an interview gradually shifts into a tense psychological confrontation where perception and reality collide.
The film examines the blurred boundary between trauma and survival while posing a central question: is Velvet the victim or the victor? Perkins described the project as both a creative milestone and a personal evolution, noting that the cast and crew helped shape the film beyond his initial expectations.
