Gord Apolloni has worked with some of the finest athletes in the world.

Apolloni has been putting in time with the likes of Prison Break star Dominic Purcell and up-and-coming Canadian actor Izaak Smith, helping them both prepare for their leading roles in A Fighting Man.

We’ve got an exclusive look at the Cannes promo for Bleiberg Entertainment’s The Ganzfeld Experiment. If there was one group of kids who knew how to ghost hunt, it was this one. Bring the party to the ghosts I always say!

In the film, “In this sexy, paranormal thriller, four psychology students gather in a secluded house over a weekend to try the Ganzfeld Experiment, a test of their potential extrasensory perception (ESP) abilities. In doing so, they lose touch with what is and isn’t real as their senses betray them and they find themselves asking: what if you can’t forget that what you could not remember?”

Rumer Willis (Sorority Row), Toby Hemingway (Black Swan), Taylor Cole (“The Violent Kind”), and Ryan Donowho (Cabin Fever: Patient Zero) star alongside veteran actors Holt McCallany (Fight Club) and Dominic Purcell (“Prison Break”). It was written and directed by Michael Oblowitz (“This World, Then the Fireworks”).
