Munich-based sales agency The Playmaker has sold the black comedy “Holy Shit!” To distributors in several key regions ahead of its UK premiere at Frightfest on August 28.
The Playmaker has closed deals for Japan (New Select), South Korea (Lumix Media), China (Beijing Blue Media Times), France (Family Films), and Baltics (Estin Film).
Screenwriter and director Lukas Rinker made a realistic claustrophobia-themed film with its market premiere in Cannes this year.
“Holy shit!” It won the Audience Award at its world premiere at this year’s Hard: Line Film Festival and was screened at the Night Visions Film Festival in Helsinki. In Fantaspoa, she received an honorable mention for her “best (and bad) bloodbath.”
In the film, architect Frank (played by Thomas Niehaus) regains consciousness in an enclosed portable toilet on a construction site where a bombing is being prepared. As he desperately tries to find ways to escape this “prison” before it explodes into shreds, he realizes who put him in this predicament: the corrupt and corrupt Mayor Horst (Gideon Burkhard) who also has schemes about Frank’s pregnant girlfriend Mary (Olga von Lockwald). Now Frank must do everything in his power to get out alive, save Mary, and expose Horst’s phantom crimes.
“Holy shit!” It is a German production by Neopol Film in co-production with Studio Hamburg Enterprises. The production was supported and financed by HessenFilm und Medien GmbH.
