FRANKIE FREAKO: Raven Banner Launches Sales of Steven Kostanski's Little Monster Horror-Comedy at Cannes

It tells the story of workaholic yuppie Conor Sweeney (star of “The Editor” and “Father’s Day”) whose perfect life is turned upside down when he accidentally unleashes a trio of tiny trouble-makers into his home, led by the maniacal rock-n-roll party monster FRANKIE FREAKO. It’s a race against time as Conor must defeat the rambunctious ruffians and clean up their trail of destruction before his wife returns from her weekend work trip, all while going on an unexpected journey of self-discovery.

Raven Banner to launch Steven Kostanski's Frankie Freako at Cannes Market 

 

Raven Banner will launch International sales at the Cannes Market for Steven Kostanski's latest feature, Frankie Freako. Kostanski's previous feature PG: Psycho Goreman premiered at SXSW and gathered a cult following worldwide. Shout! Studios has acquired all U.S. distribution rights to Frankie Freako with Raven Banner Releasing handling Canadian distribution. 

 

Frankie Freako is Kostanki's homage to the practical-FX-driven little monster horror-comedies of the 80's such as “Gremlins 2” and “Ghoulies 3: Ghoulies Go to College”. It tells the story of workaholic yuppie Conor Sweeney (star of “The Editor” and “Father’s Day”) whose perfect life is turned upside down when he accidentally unleashes a trio of tiny trouble-makers into his home, led by the maniacal rock-n-roll party monster FRANKIE FREAKO. It’s a race against time as Conor must defeat the rambunctious ruffians and clean up their trail of destruction before his wife returns from her weekend work trip, all while going on an unexpected journey of self-discovery.

 

The film is produced and financed under the Toronto-based Hangar 18 Media banner, produced by Pasha Patriki, Melanie Murray and Steven Kostanski. Executive producers include Michael Paszt, Andrew Thomas Hunt, James Fler, Avi Federgreen and Alison Waxman, alongside Garson Foos, Bob Emmer, Jordan Fields and Julie Dansker. 

 

"Steve is a visionary filmmaker who has the unique ability to take token genre conventions and turn them completely inside out" stated Michael Paszt of Raven Banner. "This is our third collaboration with Kostanski and it’s a real honor to be working with him and his team again."
