Toronto genre specialist Raven Banner has acquired international rights to Mattie Do’s Dearest Sister.
Mattie Do’s Lao-European horror feature “tells of a village girl who travels to the Lao capital Vientiane to care for her rich cousin who has lost her sight and gained the ability to communicate with the dead.”
ScreenDaily says that music and radio celebrity Vilouna Phetmany and Estonian theatre and screen veteran Tambet Tuisk play the couple while newcomer Amphaiphun Phommapanya portrays the village girl.
The Laos-France-Estonia co-production is set for a late spring shoot.
