Congratulations to Turkish filmmaker Can Evrenol. Variety is reporting that Barcelona-based producer M's Entertainment will produce a low-budget feature length version of his short film Baskin.
Evrenol will direct from his own screenplay in Turkey later this year with a local cast and crew. M's Entertainment head Emili Pons will produce. Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival deputy director Mike Hostench and Asmodexia director Marc Carrete will executive produce.
We have an exclusive still from the short film to share with you to give you some sense as to why this news is awesome! Please, watch the trailer for his short as well. You will find that below.
Shot independently in Istanbul, Turkey, during the height of the the police brutality and Gezi resistance that hit the headlines worldwide, the film revolves around four cops responding to a routine call and discover a Lovecraftian cult whose quarters hide the very horrors that should only belong in Hell!
This is the second film in M's Entertainment's production slate. They also produced Asmodexia, which XYZ Films reps for North America and Raven Banner Entertainment reps for the rest of the World.
