Alchemy has acquired North American distribution rights to writer/director Stephen Fingleton’s post-apocalyptic thriller The Survivalist, which premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, says THR.
The film stars Martin McCann, Mia Goth and Olwen Fouéré in the tale of a starving woman and her teenage daughter who meet up with a man eking out a living deep in the forest.
Alchemy is making a statement this year having also acquired Rob Zombie’s 31 and Bernard Rose’s new Frankenstein tale, as well as the werewolf movie Howl.
The Survivalist was produced by Wayne Marc Godfrey, Robert Jones and David Gilbery and produced and financed by The Fyzz Facility alongside Northern Ireland Screen, the BFI and Goldcrest. K5 International is handling international sales.
