Lorcan Finnegan’s debut feature which is set for a swift follow-up with ‘Vivarium’ will be distributed digitally by the new distribution outlet, which specialises in high quality independent films.
The title has been acquired from XYZ Films, who executive produced the project and handled global sales at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.
‘Without Name’ is penned by Garret Shanley (Foxes, Vivarium) and follows land surveyor Eric (Alan McKenna) on an assignment to measure an ancient forest for a developer. He soon loses his grip on reality as the environment is revealed to be a supernatural force.
Brunella Cocchiglia of Lovely Productions produces the project, with Niamh Algar and James Browne in supporting roles.
Highlights for the eco-horror have been its premier at TIFF 2016, receiving four f Brooklyn Horror Film Festival’s seven jury awards in October 2016 and further screenings at BFI London, SITGES and ADIFF.
Joe Dain, President, Global Digital Releasing:
“We are a company comprised of independent filmmakers ourselves who wanted to find a way to make distribution as seamless as possible. With the narrowing of availability for indie filmmakers to get their films released through even the mid-level distributors combined with the daunting task and difficulties involved with self-distribution, we have found a dependable route for smaller independent films to secure wide releases and find their audiences without the mounting expenses they normally have to sit behind with other distributors.”
