May 10 2019 - 9:15AM
Cinedigm Corp (NASDAQ: CIDM) announced today that it has acquired
North American rights to the psychological thriller TEACHER.
Written and directed by
Adam Dick, the film
stars
David Dastmalchian (ANT-MAN, ANIMALS,
upcoming DUNE) and
Kevin Pollak (THE MARVELOUS
MRS. MAISEL, THE USUAL SUSPECTS). Following a limited
theatrical engagement, Cinedigm will release the picture on demand,
digital HD, and DVD in August 2019.
Adam Dick’s narrative debut as a director, TEACHER
is an unflinching portrayal of trauma as a contagion passed between
people and generations, all set within the prism of modern
suburbia. The film follows the downward spiral of a high school
English teacher (Dastmalchian) as he goes to disturbing lengths to
protect his favorite students from bullies and challenge the power
of a wealthy patron (Pollak) within the community.“Provocative and
suspenseful, TEACHER delves into the destructive impact of
bullying,” said Yolanda Macias, Cinedigm’s Executive Vice-President
of Acquisitions. “David and Kevin give fearless performances and,
combined with Adam’s astute direction, the film delivers a powerful
message that remains long after the end credits.”“We have been
seeking a distributor willing to take risks and truly get behind
our film,” said producer Matthew Helderman. “Cinedigm quickly
jumped on board and has proven itself to be a collaborative partner
willing to support independent filmmaking in a changing landscape
and help us bring our film and its message to audiences.”
Producing duties were shared by Adam Dick, Matthew Helderman of
BondIt Media Capital and Buffalo 8, and Zachary Kamen.
Executive Producers are John August Glassgow, Markie Glassgow, Ted
Reilly, Carol Smith, and Kelly Waller. The deal was
negotiated by Macias for Cinedigm, and Helderman / Buffalo 8 on
behalf of the filmmakers.ABOUT
