Gunpowder & Sky, the company behind the horror label Alter and the sci-fi brand Dust, has entered into a deal with Circle of Confusion this week, Deadline reports today.
The site explains, “[They’ll] develop and produce films and TV projects, which will be mined from writers, directors, and producers who have had their work released on Dust or Alter.”
“The joint-venture will also focus on nurturing new talent who will have the opportunity to be repped by Circle of Confusion’s managers, while Dust and Akter filmmakers will also have fast-track access to Circle of Confusion’s list of managers and clients.”
“Championing the next generation of filmmakers has always been part of our DNA, and since launching DUST and ALTER a few years ago, we have curated, produced and showcased more than 500 films on our channels,” said Floris Bauer, Gunpowder & Sky President. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Circle, further developing DUST and ALTER IP, and unearthing breakthrough talent from our network of diverse global creators. With their track record of discovering the creators behind films and series like The Matrix, The Walking Dead, John Wick and Black Panther, we hope that together we are lucky enough to build an iconic franchise or two.”
Gunpowder & Sky just released Irish aquatic horror film Sea Fever this month.
