AMP International has released the EFM sales art for XX director Jovanka Vuckovic‘s post-apocalyptic horror Riot Girls.
“Set in a world where adults have mysteriously died and resources are scarce, Riot Girls tells the story of a teenage girl who is called to action when her brother is captured by rivals and set to be executed. Joined by the girl who has always loved her, and the boy who wants to love her, the threesome tear through the crumbling suburbs on a violent road marked by betrayal, sexual discovery, and brutal justice.”
From an EP on Insidious, the film stars Madison Iseman, Paloma Kwiatkowski, Alexandre Bourgeois, and Jenny Raven.
Vuckovic won the 2012 Fantasia Film Festival Best Short award for The Captured Bird(pictured), which was executive produced by Guillermo del Toro. She also wrote and directed a segment for XX, the all-female horror anthology produced by XYZ Films to be released by Magnet Releasing in 2017. She’s scheduled to direct the feature adaptation of Clive Barker’s Jacqueline Ess as well as All My Heroes Are Dead, a thriller based on an original screenplay by Vuckovic.
“I’ve always been attracted to films that break the rules,” said Vuckovic when announced earlier last year. “Riot Girls isn’t a simple post-apocalypse tale, a violent survivalist horror story, a queer romance, or a kids adventure film – it’s all of those things blended together beautifully. I look forward to bringing Katherine’s genre-bending, coming-of-rage love story to life onscreen.”
Riot Girls is written by Katherine Collins who was a writer on the first season of the NBC hit Blindspot.
