U.K. sales and distribution company Blue Finch Films has picked up worldwide sales rights, excluding Australia and New Zealand, to Nick Kozakis’ action horror “Kick On,” which will have its world premiere in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto Film Festival.
The company will launch sales on the film at the festival’s newly established industry market. Umbrella Entertainment picked up the Australia and New Zealand rights separately.
“Kick On” follows four friends whose night out spirals into a drug-fueled den run by a mobster’s volatile son, pulling them into a brutal cycle of paranoia, violence and betrayal as they fight to survive.
Kozakis is known for “Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism,” a Sitges Film Festival award winner. The “Kick On” ensemble includes Markella Kavenagh (“Rings of Power”), Nikolai Nikolaeff (“Stranger Things”), Ras-Samuel (“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”) and Jacek Koman (“Conclave”).
“‘Kick On’ is the kind of movie that believes more is more. More blood, more psycho mayhem, more insane action, more moments that make an audience scream, laugh and cheer at the same time. I can’t wait to unleash that experience on a packed TIFF audience,” Kozakis said.
