Magnet Snatches Genre Shocker "The Eyes Of My Mother"

Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, announced today that it has acquired worldwide rights to THE EYES OF MY MOTHER, the hauntingly beautiful and shockingly original debut from filmmaker Nicolas Pesce. The film fuses classic horror ingredients with gothic black-and-white imagery and was called the "discovery of this year's Sundance" by Indiewire's Eric Kohn. It also features a breakout performance from newcomer Kika Magalhaes. Magnet is planning a 2016 theatrical release.
In the film Magalhaes plays Francisca, a young woman who has been unfazed by death from an early age. Francisca mother, a former surgeon, imbued her with a thorough understanding of the human anatomy. When tragedy shatters the familys idyllic life in the countryside, Franciscas deep trauma gradually awakens some unique curiosities. As she grows up, her desire to connect with the world around her takes a distinctly dark form.
The film was rapturously received by critics at Sundance. "It contains some of the most memorable, almost poetic visual compositions in a very long time" wrote Roger Ebert.com critic, Brian Tallerico. Variety was equally enthusiastic, calling the film "a Sundance standout" and "an impressive, highly original horror fable" while Vulture dubbed it "a slick, simmering nightmare." Eric Kohn added that "Francisca is a movie monster for the ages.
"Nicolas Pesce has crafted an auspicious and unforgettable debut that immediately establishes him as one of the most exciting genre filmmakers to watch today," said Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles. "This is the kind of film Magnet was started for."
"I'm very excited for the film to have found a home with Magnet," said Nicolas Pesce. "They're responsible for releasing so many of the movies that inspired me, so to be included in this family is incredible. The life theyve given to both foreign and domestic genre films is unparalleled, so for THE EYES OF MY MOTHER to be released through them is a dream come true."
THE EYES OF MY MOTHER was produced by Jacob Wasserman, Schuyler Weiss, and Max Born and executive produced by Borderline Films' Antonio Campos, Sean Durkin and Josh Mond under their new Borderline Presents label. Filmmaker Nicolas Pesce recently signed with United Talent Agency and Washington Square Films, while lead actress Kika Magalhaes was snatched up by Anonymous Content.

New Trailer Released For "Emelie"

Press Release:
In EMELIE, director Michael Thelin and writer Richard Raymond Harry Herbeck have taken an everyday experience – a couple handing their kids off to a babysitter – and created an original, nail-biting thriller. The Thompsons, a loving family living in a peaceful suburb of Buffalo, New York, are the definition of wholesome American normalcy. When their regular babysitter can’t make it, Dan and Joyce turn to her friend Anna to watch their three children while they go out to celebrate their anniversary. At first, the young woman seems like a dream come true for the kids, as she allows them to play with things that are usually off-limits. But, as her behavior becomes increasingly odd, the frightened kids realize her intentions are dark and twisted – and that she may not even be Anna at all.
MPI’s Greg Newman said of EMELIE, “With his first narrative feature, Michael Thelin proves to be a consummate craftsman, delivering a mature and thoroughly chilling and disturbing thriller that will stay with viewers long after it’s over.”
EMELIE was produced by Uncorked Productions’ Andrew D. Corkin, producer of the acclaimed Martha Marcy May Marlene and We Are What We Are. Lizzie Friedman and Greg Little of Sandbar Pictures & Abandon Features financed and executive produced EMELIE. This is their third film collaboration; their most recent film, The Stanford Prison Experiment, won The Alfred P. Sloan screenwriting award at Sundance. Robert Beaumont, Roxanne Fie Anderson, and Elizabeth Jane Stillwell are also executive producers. The cast includes Sarah Bolger (The Moth Diaries, The Spiderwick Chronicles), Chris Beetem (Black Hawk Down, “Inside Amy Schumer”), Susan Pourfar (Woody Allen’s Irrational Man, TV’s “Elementary”), and, as the Thompson children, Joshua Rush, Carly Adams, and Thomas Bair.
