Frontières@Fantasia: Second Wave Of Projects Announced!
As the ScreenAnarchy team talk among ourselves about preparing for the Fantasia International Film Festival the team at Frontières@Fantasia are busy prepping for the sixth edition of this co-production market. We have the second wave of titles included in this year's market.
Portland based director Todd E Freeman (Love Sick and Cell Count) is returning again this year with a new project called The Beautiful. Prolific actor and producer Larry Fessendeden (actor in We Are Still Here) is bringing one of his boys from Glass Eye Pix, Graham Reznick (Five States of Fear), with his project The Designer.
On the home front we have new projects being pitched by Vancouver based director Gigi Saul Guerrero (México Bárbaro). She comes to Montreal with a new project, El Gigante. From Toronto Leonard Farlinger and Aaron Woodley come with their intriguing title League of Monster Slayers. From Québec Matrin Laroche will present 12 Frames / Second and Sid Zanforlin will present Never Tear Us Apart (fingers crossed that movie is about a Michael Hutchence obsessed serial killer or something like that).
Frontières is the first and only co-production market to connect North America with Europe in an environment specifically focused on genre film production and financing. Frontières marks its return to Fantasia with an expanded project line-up that will allow more projects to participate in live pitch sessions.
We be alive and alert that first morning of the market when the pitch sessions happen and will report back to you about the ones that impressed us the most. Stay tuned!
