Medient Studios to Release Yellow on August 29
EFFINGHAM COUNTY, GA--(Marketwired - Jun 3, 2014) - Medient
Studios, Inc. (OTCQB: MDNT) ('Medient') announced today that it
will release Nick Cassavetes' Yellow on August 29 in New York, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago, followed by a planned
expansion nationwide. A festival favorite, Yellow has been screened
to great critical acclaim at over a dozen film festivals around the
world, including Toronto International Film Festival, Tokyo
International Film Festival, Munich Film Festival, Seattle
International Film Festival, Sitges Film Festival and SXSW among
others. The film also won the "Best Feature Film" award at the
Catalina Film Festival in September 2013.
Nick Cassavetes, the director and writer of Yellow, said, "I
guess what I'm interested in today is putting up on screen
something that is consistent with what I see when I walk out my
front door. And granted, I'm a little crazy, but 'Yellow'
comes pretty darn close."
Yellow has received several glowing reviews over the past months
when it has played at the various film festivals. Screen Daily
calls it a film "destined for cult status" while Indiewire called
it Cassavetes' best work. "It's not only Cassavetes' best movie,
but also a fascinating alternative to conventional melodrama that
burrows inside its troubled protagonist's head and unleashes her
emotions in vivid terms. No matter how messy it gets, 'Yellow'
renders a troubled subjectivity with striking
creativity."
Manu Kumaran, Chairman of Medient Studios and the Producer of
the film said that this was a labor of love. "Nick Cassavetes has
invented a new story telling idiom. He has broken every narrative
tool in the shed and yet pulled off this stunning ode to a modern
reality. This is a film for the ages, a film that will survive all
of us. Every screening of the film to an American audience has
ended in a standing ovation and we expect the film to perform well
at the box office."
A visually dazzling head-trip from director Nick Cassavetes (The
Notebook, The Other Woman),Yellow tells the story of Mary Holmes,
(Heather Wahlquist), a young substitute teacher who escapes from
her drudging everyday life by fantasizing bizarre parallel
realities. We enter her hallucinatory world, peopled with
Busby Berkeley dancers, Cirque du Soleil, Circus freaks, and human
farm animals, where nothing is quite what it seems.
Yellow stars Heather Wahlquist, Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith,
Lucy Punch, Gena Rowlands, David Morse, Daveigh Chase, Max
Thieriot, Riley Keough, Ethan Suplee, Brendon Sexton and Ray
Liotta.
