Picturehouse's riveting, emotional thriller, AT THE GATES, opens in select theaters on Nov. 3 in New York and Los Angeles.

The theatrical opening follows a series of festival screenings, including recent New York Latino Film Festival, where it won the Best U.S. Narrative Prize, the Woodstock Film Festival and SCAD Savannah Film Festival.

“AT THE GATES is a gripping combination of noir and political commentary that creates a tense and emotional ride,” says Bob Berney, CEO of Picturehouse. “Set in what could be the not-too-distant future, the film asks how far you would go to protect your family.”
