From the Press Release:
IFC Midnight announced today that the company has acquired North American and Latin American rights to Billy O’Brien’s I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER. The film, with a screenplay by O’Brien and Christopher Hyde based on the novel by Dan Wells, stars Max Records, Christopher Lloyd, Laura Fraser, and Karl Geary. The film was produced by Nick Ryan, James Harris, and Mark Lane and was executive produced by Wayne Marc Godfrey, Robert Jones, James Atherton, Jan Pace, John McDonnell, Rory Gilmartin, Billy O’Brien, Avril Daly, Ruairi Robinson, Robbie Ryan, Bertrand Faivre, Ruth Kenley-Letts, and Afolabi Kuti. The film made its world premiere at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival.
I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER takes place in a small Midwestern town where a troubled teen with homicidal tendencies must hunt down and destroy a supernatural killer whilst keeping his own inner demons at bay.
Notes IFC Midnight: “Billy O’Brien has done a stunning job of bringing Dan Wells’ book to the screen with an endlessly engaging film suffused with wry humor, finely wrought performances, and a moody, haunting atmosphere.”
Andrew Orr of Independent commented: “Billy O’Brien has created a truly distinct and special film. The audience reaction in SXSW was incredible, and so we are delighted to have found our ideal partner in IFC Midnight to take the film to a wider audience in the US.”
The deal was negotiated by Andrew Orr and Nada Cirjanic of Independent Film Company on behalf of the filmmakers.
I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER was funded by Bord Scannan na hEireann/The Irish Film Board, Quickfire Films, and The Fyzz Facility and produced by Floodland Pictures and The Tea Shop & Film Company. IFC Midnight is a sister label to IFC Films and Sundance Selects and is owned and operated by AMC Networks Inc.
