Cine Video and Vertigo Media also picked up Oskar Mellander’s “Canceled.” “I definitely see a continued demand for genre films in the market around the globe,” said TrustNordisk’s Nicolai Korsgaard, currently at Canadian genre fest Fantasia. “Coming here has been great for us in terms of scouting new projects and I see some potential collaborations in the future.
