‘Harpoon’

Arrow Films has acquired UK distribution rights to Harpoon, a horror comedy from Canadian filmmaker Rob Grant.

Arrow’s director of content and distribution Francesco Simeoni struck the deal with Joe Yanick of Yellow Veil Pictures. 

A release is planned for later this year, with a home entertainment release through the company’s own Arrow Video brand.

Yellow Veil are handling worldwide sales.

The film launched at International Film Festival Rotterdam in January, and has since screened at Chattanooga and Calgary Underground film festivals, winning the audience award at the latter.

It follows three best friends who find themselves stranded on a yacht in the middle of the ocean.

Michael Peterson, Kurtis David Harder and Julian Black Antelope produced for 775 Media Corp, with Laurie Venning as executive producer for Venntertainment.
