K.J. Yossman Kaleidoscope Film Distribution have snapped up Scottish thriller “Kill” for the U.K. market and are set to launch international sales at AFM.
The debut feature from creator, director and co-writer Rodger Griffiths, “Kill” is a story of violence, family and revenge. It follows three desperate brothers who “return to the woods where they shot and buried their abusive father, only to find his shallow grave empty,” reads the logline. “Now, someone is hunting them.” Rob Drummond co-wrote the film, which premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August.
Paul Higgins (“Line of Duty”), Brian Vernel (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) and Daniel Portman (“Game of Thrones”) star alongside Calum Ross (“Wednesday”), Anita Vettesse (“Outlander”), James Harkness (“Darkest Hour”) and Joanne Thomson (“The Victim”). It is produced by Lee Brazier (“Yesterday”) of Mr B Films and Synchronicity Films’ Claire Mundell in association with Great Point Media and Wild Sheep. Library Pictures International and Creative Scotland financed the production and executive produce.
Kaleidoscope Film Distribution CEO Spencer Pollard inked the deal with Lee Brazier and executive producer David Taghioff of Library Pictures International. “Kill” will get a theatrical release via Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment in 2024. “’Kill’ is a super smart genre film, and portrays the kind of British film-making we love and support,” said Pollard.
