Canada<\/a> and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cOur sales and distribution arm can be seen as a natural evolution for the company, but for us it is a necessary move: we see an opportunity to do things better and embrace the fast changes of the industry. It is a statement, and we don\u2019t want to follow the beaten path,\u201d said Patriki.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe plan to back titles not because they\u2019re this year\u2019s hot-selling genre, but because they\u2019re films we\u2019d actually want to watch. If you believe in something, it finds its audience.\u00a0Sound & Fury<\/em>\u00a0is exactly the kind of film that made us want a bigger megaphone. Charles has captured something painfully real, comical, and somewhat disturbing about the world we live in today, and we can\u2019t wait to inflict it on Canadian and international audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tSound & Fury<\/em> explores public humiliation, online culture, and the consequences of seeking justice in an age where social media can instantly transform an unlucky moment into viral sensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tMaslany\u00a0stars as Gavin Tremblay, a divorced theatre director and former TV actor, still looking for his career breakthrough moment. When a humiliating prank by an online influencer turns him into an internet sensation, desperate to reclaim his dignity, Gavin becomes obsessed with the influencer that humiliated him, and his attempt at revenge takes him down a much stranger road than he ever anticipated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tWritten and directed by Wahl, the film is lead produced by actor-turned-producer Gharrett Patrick Paon, who first made waves in the latter profession with 2021 coming-of-age tale Wildhood <\/em>about a teenager who embarks on a road trip in search of his mother and Mi\u2019kmaw heritage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tThe launch of a sales and distribution division builds on 9 Light Entertainment\u2019s expertise in developing strategic international partnerships and content for global audiences. The company will represent a curated slate of commercially driven projects designed for worldwide audiences, alongside developing its own original slate of unscripted and scripted titles.<\/p>\n
\n\t9 Light Entertainment focuses on commercially driven, export-ready IP designed for multiple territories. In 2017, it joined forces with Raven Banner Entertainment to launch genre film production company Hangar 18 Media. Its some dozen feature-length films and be found on Crave, and Tubi, Shudder, Netflix, and in theatres internationally.<\/p>\n
\n\tWith over 25 years of industry experience, Patriki is a member of Canadian media Producers Association, with credits including the action feature\u00a0Black Water<\/em>, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, Please Kill Mr. Know It All<\/em>,\u00a0Gridlocked<\/em>,\u00a0The Sound<\/em>, and\u00a0Anonymous.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\u201cPasha has done every job on a film set, crew, post, producer, director, and now he\u2019s bringing that full picture to distribution.
