Vertical has acquired North American, UK, and Irish distribution rights to the horror-comedy mockumentary Found Footage: The Making of The Patterson Project, executive produced by Ready or Not and Scream‘s Radio Silence.
Directed by Max Tzannes, and co-written by Tzannes and David San Miguel, Found Footage: The Making of The Patterson Project draws inspiration fromThis is Spinal Tap and found footage classics like The Blair Witch Project to tell the story of a crew of acclaimed documentarians as they chronicle a young filmmaker’s quest to create the world’s greatest found footage horror film.
Brennan Keel Cook (The Pale Blue Eye), Chen Tang (Warrior), Erika Vetter (Somebody I Used to Know) and Dean Cameron (Straight Outta Compton, Summer School) star in the film, set for limited theatrical release this summer on June 20 and available on demand beginning June 24 in North America and June 30 in the UK. Tyler Friesen produced.
Cinematography on Found Footage: The Making of The Patterson Project was handled by Jacob Souza, who, along with Tzannes and San Miguel, makes up part of film collective Dirty Shot Clean (dsc).
Per Tzannes:
“Dirty Shot Clean was thrilled to collaborate with filmmakers whose genre-bending movies have had such a profound influence on our work […] We wanted to tell a story that celebrates and subverts the found footage tropes we all know and love, while also poking fun at the terrifying experience of making an independent horror film.”
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence) add:
“It’s a true challenge to innovate within a well-worn subgenre but the gents at Dirty Shot Clean have created something truly original, hilarious, scary and full of heart […] It’s a send-up of our favorite found footage tropes and a love letter to the process of indie filmmaking. We’re so honored to be a very tiny part of bringing this one to the masses.”
