Cranked Up Films Acquires Worldwide Rights to Genre Titles ‘iPossessed’ and ‘Gothic Slayers’ Ahead of AFM 2024
Cranked Up Films have acquired worldwide rights to two genre film titles ahead of this year’s AFM: iPossessed and Gothic Slayers. The distribution company aims to release each title digitally in early 2025. The distribution company will showcase each title this coming week at the film market.
Eoghan Burke, Managing Director of the Dublin-based sales agency TARF Media, will handle international sales for the film at AFM.
“We are thrilled to add these two knockout genre-bending titles to the Cranked Up Films family, and can’t wait for audiences to experience the true insanity in store for them,” said Andy Myers, Cranked Up’s EVP of Distribution and Production.
Both films battle the demonic forces in very unique ways. iPossessed, an ensemble horror/thriller by Jerry Sommer and Carl Rimi, centers on a group of friends who make a pact with a demon to stay the night in a secluded home or lose their souls. Gothic Slayers, a horror/comedy by Caleb Harris, focuses on two putt-putt employees who face off against a demonic cult.
“We feel really good partnering with Cranked Up Films,” says iPossessed filmmaker Carl Rimi. “Not only do our values in this industry align, they also appreciate the vision we have for iPossessed and its potential to reach a mass audience worldwide.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to team up with Cranked Up Films to unleash Gothic Slayers upon the world,” says Gothic Slayers filmmaker Ben Getz. “Together, we’re bringing you a ’90s-inspired adventure comedy packed with laughs, thrills, and enough pixel-powered chaos to blow a fuse at the arcade. Grab your garlic, stock up on quarters, and get ready.”
This year’s AFM catches Cranked Up Films, the genre arm of Good Deed Entertainment, in a new and exciting phase, after having launched an original production company offshoot that spawned the critically acclaimed horror trilogy Fresh Hell by Quinn Armstrong and the upcoming body horror revenge movie Replicator by Mark Andrew Hamer.
The deals for each title were negotiated with the filmmakers by Cranked Up Films.
iPossessed is directed by Jerry Sommer and Carl Rimi, written and produced by Carl Rimi and Javier Mayol, with story by Maurice Jovan Billington. Gothic Slayers is directed by Caleb Harris, written by Dylan Eshbaugh and Ben Getz, and produced by Jayson Bernard, Ben Getz, and Caleb Harris.
