“We’re thrilled to reteam with Anthony on another innovative genre-bender, which is already garnering attention during this unprecedented period for festivals and the industry. Being able to work with filmmakers on multiple projects throughout the years is something we strive for as a company and often feels like a dream come true,” Arianna Bocco, executive vp of acquisitions and productions at IFC Films said in a statement.
Burns made waves when he directed a self-made fan trailer for Tron, which he followed up with the sci-fi-tinged short film Manifold. He also directed the ghost tale feature Our House, which saw Thomas Mann play a young inventor who discovers a link to the afterlife.
“I am thrilled to have IFC onboard as our American home for Come True. The film was created to entertain audiences who love the horror genre, but also appreciate the unpredictable nature of independent cinema. IFC are proven masters of both realms, so I know we’re in the best hands,” director Scott Burns said in his own statement.
Recent IFC Films releases include Dave Franco’s The Rental, Natalie Erika James’ Relic and The Pierce Brothers’ The Wretched.
The deal for the Come True acquisition was negotiated by IFC Films’ director of acquisitions Aijah Keith with XYZ Films’ Pip Ngo on behalf of the filmmakers.
