It’s been a few years since we’ve gotten an update on Christopher Douglas-Olen Ray’s A House Is Not a Home, but it’s finally heading to DVD and digital next month courtesy of MVD.  Read on for all the details!

From the Press Release:
Following a limited theatrical run, MVD Entertainment Group will release A House Is Not a Home, a DeInstitutionalized LLC production, on DVD and digital platforms on September 27th. The film stars Bill Cobbs (Night at the Museum), Richard Grieco (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “21 Jump Street”), Eddie Steeples (“My Name Is Earl,” “Raising Hope”), Aurora Perrineau (Jem and the Holograms, Equals), Diahnna Nicole Baxter (“Scandal”), Gerald Webb (“Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders,” Sniper: Special Ops), and Melvin Gregg (3.7 million Vine followers) and is directed by Christopher Douglas-Olen Ray (Mercenaries). The diversely cast horror film premiered at the Burbank International Film Festival to rave reviews, taking top honors as the Best Horror Feature.

Gerald Webb, DeInstitutionalized Managing Partner, says: “Rarely are diverse films that fall outside of a very narrowly defined Hollywood mold greenlit by traditional studios and distributors. We created A House Is Not a Home as a direct challenge to those industry stereotypes to fill the void lacking diverse horror and thriller feature films. We are very pleased that MVD’s progressive team has the foresight and commitment to diversity to join us in releasing this groundbreaking film. With the industry currently grappling with diversity issues, A House Is Not a Home’s release is a needed win for diversity and fans of horror and thriller films everywhere.”

DeInstitutionalized is a production company based out of Burbank, California. Partners Chris Ray and Gerald Webb have been working together in various capacities for nearly a decade. In conjunction with producing their own original content, the members have also provided production services to other highly reputable television and film companies.

Eric D. Wilkinson, Director of Home Video Sales and Acquisitions at MVD, says: “I’m thrilled to be working with the team at DeInstitutionalized on the release of the thriller A House Is Not a Home. MVD Entertainment has a long history of successfully supporting independent films and independent filmmakers, and Christopher and Gerald have crafted a fun thriller with a diverse cast that I look forward to bringing to the marketplace across all platforms.”

The DVD can be ordered now at the MVD Shop or on Amazon.
