1091 Pictures, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Nasdaq: CSSE) company, announced today the acquisition of English-speaking world rights to Perry Blackshear’s atmospheric social horror film When I Consume You.
Blackshear, the filmmaker also behind They Look Like People and The Siren, once again has teamed up with the cast and creative collaborators MacLeod Andrews, Evan Dumouchel, and Margaret Ying Drake, alongside Libby Ewing, to deliver a film about family drama, grief, and redemption with When I Consume You.
The film is written, directed, and lensed by Blackshear, who also produced alongside Andrews, Dumouchel, and Ewing.
The film, which debuted at Fantasia in 2021, will be released by 1091 Pictures on August 16, 2022.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Yellow Veil and 1091 on the release of When I Consume You,” said Blackshear in a statement. “We love this film and can’t wait to bring it out into the world.”
The deal was negotiated by Lev-Avery Peck for 1091 Pictures and Hugues Barbier, Justin Timms, and Joe Yanick of Yellow Veil Pictures on behalf of the filmmakers.
