Mark McKenna and Stephen Lang Lead Psychological Thriller ‘Isolation Booth’

Mark McKenna (Overlord) and Stephen Lang (Don’t Breathe) lead the indie thriller Isolation Booth, which recently wrapped filming in Minnesota, reports Deadline.

The psychological thriller follows a once-celebrated songwriter battling addiction as he retreats to a secluded studio for one last chance at relevance. When there, an enigmatic producer helps to complete the song at any cost.

Rounding out the cast are Cory Jeacoma, Micah Joe Parker, Isa Grofsorean, and introducing Meghan Kreidler.

Hailing from producers Shifted Industry (Showtime’s Basketball County: In The Water) and Witchcraft Motion Picture Company (IFC & Shudder’s Dolly), the film is directed by first-time filmmaker John Beckham.

“There is an otherworldly aspect to the role that I find challenging as he serves as guide, conscience, and tempter to the battered body and bruised soul of a rock star in the throes of artistic creation and destruction. Plus I dig the music,” commented Lang.

Shot on location at the celebrated Pachyderm Recording Studio — home to the recording of iconic albums from acts including Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Hum, Live, Soul Asylum, Alkaline Trio, Motion City Soundtrack, and others — the film grew out of Beckham’s years as a musician and filmmaker.

Producers are Audra Arnaudon, Erica Margaux Baca, and Beckham. Sam Brin executive-produced alongside The Wire writer George Pelecanos. Noah Lang served as executive producer for Witchcraft.

The filmmakers are targeting a 2027 festival and market premiere with a sales attachment in the works.
