While not a horror film, genre specialist Filmax ([REC], Sleep Tight, Summer Camp, The Returned) is handling international sales on Counting Sheep, one of the most anticipated Spanish feature debuts of 2020, reports Variety.
Madrid-based Aqui y Alli, producer of two of last decade’s most admired Spanish movies – 2014’s San Sebastian winner Magical Girl and 2018’s Life and Nothing More- has made a pact with Filmax to handle sales at the ongoing Cannes market.
Described as a “dark comedic thriller sluiced by caustic wit,” Counting Sheep, the first feature of José Corral, turns on the tenants of a dilapidated building and a gang of violent sheep, that have come to life after being made from a model kit.
“Within the context of the film, we’ll be witness to murder, violence, drugs and betrayals, but the dialogues and personalities of the characters will also be hilarious, if very uncomfortable,” said Corral.
Adds the site: “The cast of the movie is led by three up-and-coming young actors, two of whom beat out much more established rivals to Spanish Academy Goya Awards: Eneko Sagardoy (“Handia”), Natalia de Molina (“Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed,” “Food and Shelter”), as well as Argentina’s Juan Grandinetti (“The Curse of the Handsome Man”).
Counting Sheep will go into production on June 29th.
