Breaking Glass Pictures has announced that they have negotiated a deal to acquire North American rights for the indie abduction thriller Spaceship, which they plan on putting in limited theaters in November followed by a DVD/VOD release.
Writer/director Alex Taylor explains, “Sometimes the world looks at us like we’re an alien life-form come to screw over the planet, and I spent several weeks hanging out with a bunch of these extraterrestrials who cut their skin and drew smiley faces with their blood – this film is for them.”
Michael Repsch, SVP of Distribution & Sales at Breaking Glass, adds, “Alex Taylor’s feature debut has successfully opened the cinematic door to an incredible alternate universe, that happens to be right here on earth. Spaceship is science fiction, punk, coming-of-age, and, most importantly, a fresh viewing experience – we could not be more excited to share Alex’s vision.”
Spaceship stars Alexa Davies, Tallulah Haddon, Lara Peake, Lucian Charles Collier, Antti Reini, and Annabel Allum. It was produced by Nicola Bowen and Olivier Kaempfer.
Synopsis:
SPACESHIP follows teenage cyber-goth Lucidia, whose mother died mysteriously seven years ago in the family swimming pool. Her father, Gabriel, is an archaeologist who can’t move on. When Lucidia disappears in an apparent alien abduction, Gabriel is forced to confront her strange outsider friends and meets Tegan, a girl obsessed with unicorns and black holes. Emotional and audacious, the story is told from multiple points of view in an intriguing ride through a constellation of characters who are pulled together by teenage gravity, surrounded by adults who also feel the same irresistible pull as they orbit their own elusive identities, all looking for a universe to call their own.
