Cinedigm struck a deal with sales agent The Playmaker Munich for the North American rights to Lukas Rinker’s stifling black comedy “Holy Shit!” The deal took place in the US film market last week, with the film being offered to buyers.
Syndigm will release “Holy shit!” on the company’s live streaming platform Screambox in early 2023.
Previously announced distribution deals were Japan (New Select), South Korea (Lumix Media), China (Beijing Blue Media Times), France (Family Films) and Baltic (Esteen Film).
The film won the Audience Award at its world premiere at this year’s Hard: Line Film Festival and has been shown at several festivals such as Night Visions Film Festival in Helsinki, FrightFest in London and the prestigious Brussels International Film Festival. At Fantaspoa, she received an honorable mention for “the best (and bad) bloodbath.”
In the movie, architect Frank wakes up trapped inside a portable toilet in the middle of a construction site. To survive an impending demolition blast and save his pregnant girlfriend from Mayor Horst’s lecherous grip, Frank needs to pull himself out of the blue plastic coffin and solve a horrific crime.
“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.
The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill, director of acquisitions at Cinedigm, and Moritz Hemminger of the Playmaker on behalf of the filmmakers.
