MAD TIGER acquired by FILM MOVEMENT for North American distribution

SCREEN DAILY

The New-York based distributor has acquired all North American rights to the IFP Documentary Lab film ahead of its world premiere at DOC NYC on November 13.

Mad Tiger will open next year followed by a digital and home video release.

Directed by Jonathan Yi and Michael Haertlein, the documentary follows bandmates Yellow and Red from Japanese art-punk band Peelander-Z.

In particular the film looks at what happens to their friendship when Red announces his departure from the band after a final tour. Josh Koury produces.

Film Movement president Michael E Rosenberg brokered the deal with the directors.

MAD TIGER sneak preview recap

The sneak preview screening of MAD TIGER in Hot Springs was a huge success! Audiences drove in for hours from out of town just for our little preview screening! We did two radio interviews at KUHS 97.9 FM and made the front page of The Sentinel-Record and The Springs Magazine!
