EXCLUSIVE: Film Movement has acquired North American distribution rights to Brazilian director Luiza Schelling Tubaldini’s romantic thriller Love Kills, about vampires chasing vampires from Reel Suspects.
The Paris-based sales outfit has also sold the film to Busch Media for a theatrical release at the end of the year in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Further deals include Italy (Blueswan), South Korea (With Lion) and India (Jai Vikratra).
Love Kills is set in Sao Paolo’s crack-ravaged downtown neighbourhood and centres on a young vampire haunting a dirty café where a naïve waiter uncovers her secrets and gets swept into the city’s underbelly and perilous world of immortal intrigue.
Shelling Tubaldini described her debut feature as “a drama about outcast women and sexual abuse, with a thriller element in a vampire universe.”
The film is playing at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF) this month and will be released in Brazilian cinemas on April 21.
It world premiered at last year’s Sitges Film Festival in Spain.
