Distributor Giant Pictures Acquires Drafthouse Films, Sets Nick Savva As New CEO, Tim League Chairman
09.03.2022 - 21:48 / deadline.com
Digital Distributor Giant Pictures has acquired Drafthouse Films and announced its first two acquisitions, NR. 10 and Masking Threshold.
Giant Pictures’ GM Nick Savva will serve as the new Drafthouse Films CEO and Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League will be chairman. Financial terms of the transaction weren’t released.
Drafthouse Films, a genre and international specialist, was founded as the distribution arm of Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas in 2010 before being spun off from the exhibitor. As CEO, Savva is planning to expand the Drafthouse Films label.
“Giant Pictures’ investment enables Drafthouse Films to continue releasing the provocative, visionary, and artfully unusual genre films from around the world that have always defined the Drafthouse brand,” Savva says. “At the same time, this acquisition gives Giant new theatrical releasing capabilities which complement our existing digital distribution and streaming technology businesses.”
Giant Pictures will work closely with Alamo Drafthouse and its related media companies, such as Fantastic Fest and the Alamo On Demand platform. NR. 10 and Masking Threshold both premiered at Fantastic Fest last fall and will be released theatrically this spring in Alamo Drafthouse theaters before tapping into Giant Pictures’ streaming distribution infrastructure. They will also be available on the Alamo On Demand platform.
N.R. 10 is from Dutch director Alex Van Warmerdam (who also helmed Drafthouse Films 2013 release Borgman). The distribution deal was negotiated by Savva for Drafthouse Films with Nelleke Driessen of Nine Film on behalf of the filmmakers.
The deal for Johannes Grenzfurthner’s psychological horror Masking Threshold was negotiated by Emma Manfredi for Drafthouse Films with Bill

James Blake has shared a new one-hour composition, ‘Wind Down’ – you can hear the new track below.The new “soundscape” has been created by Blake in collaboration with the adaptive sound wellness app Endel – who have previously collaborated with Grimes – with the aim of helping their users “move gently towards a good night’s rest”.‘Wind Down’, which is available on Endel’s range of apps, joins the company’s growing range of sleep and relaxation experiences, which combine Endel’s “signature elegant visuals and sounds with evidence-based insights on what prepares us for a better night’s rest”.“In approximately two hours, Wind Down traces an arc from wakefulness to sleep based on scientific input from SleepScore Labs, which partnered with Endel on this project,” a press release adds.“Wind Down lets me explore the more ambient side of my music and create a project to support people in a new way,” Blake said in a statement about ‘Wind Down’, which you can hear above.“It’s mesmerising to hear how my music blends with the science-based sounds of Endel’s AI and I think we’ve invented something not just beautiful or even meaningful, but truly practical.” Blake, who recently collaborated with Monica Martin for a new rendition of the latter’s track ‘Go Easy, Kid’, will tour in the UK and Europe in April and May.
