The award-winning survival thriller To Die Alone will launch on digital platforms and Blu-ray on March 25, 2025, via One Tree Entertainment. Fresh from its successful world premiere at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival—where it claimed the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature—the film follows the harrowing journey of Irving (James Tang) and Ford (Lisa Jacqueline Starrett) on the Pacific Crest Trail. When a catastrophic injury occurs, the two must endure the unforgiving wilderness, testing the limits of their courage and endurance.
Directed and written by Austin Smagalski (Donovan Reid), To Die Alone highlights both physical and emotional survival. Produced by Smagalski for Glass Creek Films and Connie Jo Sechrist, in association with Charming Stranger Films, the project also features executive producers G.W. Smagalski and Kai Smagalski. According to director Smagalski, “To Die Alone offers a glimpse into the lengths we go to remain alive, both inside and out.”
