Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, proudly announces the acquisition of VOD rights to the coming-of-age comedy MAGNETOSPHERE, which will be available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting July 22, 2025.
In MAGNETOSPHERE, it’s 1997, the Hale-Bopp comet is passing by Earth, and teenager Maggie Campion has a secret. She can see sounds and hear colors, and she experiences the world in a heightened, special way. Shy and cautious, Maggie has always kept this to herself. But when she moves cross-country with her family, Maggie’s world is shaken up. When she starts school and her theatrical, fun-loving dad mounts a ramshackle production of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE at the local community theatre, Maggie meets several important people: a first love, a new best friend, a teacher who recognizes Maggie’s differences, and the family’s loony handyman-exterminator, Gil, who nurses a formidable hidden talent. Together, these oddball folks will lead Maggie to realize her differences have a name — synesthesia.
Written and directed by Nicola Rose, MAGNETOSPHERE was produced by Tierney Boorboor, Rebeka Herron, and Drew Martin. The featured cast includes: Shayelin Martin (Wild Goat Surf), Patrick McKenna (The Red Green Show), Colin Mochrie (Whose Line is it Anyway?), Steven He (YouTube star known for “Emotional Damage!”/Asian Dad videos), Debra McGrath (Little Mosque on the Prairie), Tara Strong (The Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans), Tania Webb (Better Days), Mikayla Kong (Accused), and Zooey Schneider (Li’l Stompers).
“MAGNETOSPHERE is a story about different kinds of love: between families, between friends, first love, confused love, through the eyes of a teen girl with an unconventional brain,” said filmmaker Nicola Rose. “MAGNETOSPHERE is a story full of feelings and silliness — kind of like adolescence itself.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire MAGNETOSPHERE directly with the
filmmakers and Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films.
