Rocky Mountain Pictures has picked-up the North American theatrical distribution rights for The Principle, the much-anticipated feature documentary which explores the significance of the Earth's place within the Cosmos.
Rocky Mountain Pictures , the distributor behind such ground-breaking documentaries as Obama 2016 and Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, has picked-up the North American theatrical distribution rights for The Principle, the much-anticipated feature documentary which explores the significance of the Earth's place within the Cosmos. The film is set to open in Chicago, on October 24.
Destined to become one of the most controversial films of our time, The Principle brings before the public eye surprising results from recent large-scale surveys of our universe – surveys which disclose unexpected evidence of a preferred direction in the cosmos, aligned with our supposedly insignificant Earth.
The Principle features narration by Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager, Orange Is The New Black and Ryan’s Hope), visual animations by BUF Compagnie Paris (Life of Pi, Thor, The Matrix: Revolutions, Van Helsing, Harry Potter), and commentary from prominent scientists including George Ellis, Michio Kaku, Julian Barbour, Lawrence Krauss, and Max Tegmark.
Tracing the development of cosmology from its inception (Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid at Giza), through the great revolution of Copernicus, to the astonishing new discoveries of Earth-oriented alignments in the largest structures of our observable universe, The Principle leads us face-to-face with the question, and the challenge – are we significant within the structure of the Universe, and, if so, why and finally, what does this mean for the future of mankind?
"The question of our place in the cosmos is the greatest scientific detective story in all of the history," states Rick DeLano, the writer/producer of The Principle. "The world has been shaped by two great assertions – one places us in the center of it all and the other one relagtes us to utter insignificance. Amazingly, The Principle is the first documentary to examine this persistent puzzle at the heart of modern science."
"The Principle is important picture that presents some compelling evidence about our planet and our place in our universe," said Randy Slaughter and Ron Rodgers, partners of Rocky Mountain Pictures. "As with Obama 2016 and Expelled, we are enthused about bringing a movie to the marketplace that will get people to rethink their preconceived notions about things and have the potential to make an impact on the culture. We are very excited to be working with Rick DeLano and his team on The Principle and we believe that the documentary will have an impact on audiences everywhere.”
The Principle opens October 24 at the Marcus Addison Cinema (1555 West Lake Street) in Addison, IL, with a scheduled national expansion to follow.
The film was written and produced by Rick DeLano through his Stellar Motion Pictures, LLC and was directed by Katheryne Ktee Thomas of In Ohm Entertainment. Executive Producer is Robert Sungenis. The media marketing campaign is being spearheaded by Bob Angelotti of Angelcom Media Group, Inc.

Award-Winning Director Rachel Annette Helson’s Film “Good Daughter” Enters the 2025 Oscars® Race
With the 2025 Oscars® season heating up, director Rachel Annette Helson, an alumni of the 2019 SHOOT New Directors Showcase, enters the race for Best Live Action Short Film with Good Daughter, a crime drama that stars Netflix alum Samantha Sloyan. Good Daughter follows Rebecca (Sloyan), a woman who cons dementia patients by pretending to be their daughter – until the con catches up with her. The gripping narrative explores the rampant issue of financial exploitation of vulnerable seniors, and it’s personal for Helson. “Both of my Grandmothers passed away from Alzheimer’s,” she shared. “My family spent lots of time in the memory care facilities with them, but not everyone was so lucky. I saw a lot of lonely, abandoned people who had few visitors and no one by their side as they were dying. Good Daughter grapples with complex moral questions as it looks at someone who gives time to patients in their last days – but takes valuables in return. And there’s a great reveal at the end that really brings it full circle.” A huge part of the film’s success goes to lead actress Samantha Sloyan whose performance has been universally praised - and even won her the Best Actress award at Cindependent Film Festival as well as a Best Actress Nomination at Catalina Film Festival. “Samantha brought the perfect blend of humanity, humor and nuance to the role,” said Helson. “Her performance will make you laugh and punch you in the gut. She’s truly a powerhouse.” Sloyan has garnered accolades in recent years for playing characters that audiences love to hate. Most famously, she starred as Beverly Keane in the hit mini-series Midnight Mass, earning a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series by the... Read More
