Directed by Tim Skousen and From the Team of "Napoleon Dynamite"
NEW YORK, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT announced
that it has acquired US rights in all media to the 2006 Slamdance Film
Festival winner, "The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang" through SONY BMG Film and the
company's Home Entertainment division.
Directed by Tim Skousen and produced by Jeremy Coon and Trigger Street
Productions/Trigger Street Independent's Kevin Spacey, Dana Brunetti, Mark
Kassen, Adam Kassen, and Crazy Dreams' Randy Holleschau, the movie took top
honors for Best Director, Tim Skousen as well as Best Actor, Justin Long at
the Aspen Comedy Film Festival last week.
From the team responsible for "Napoleon Dynamite", "The Sasquatch Dumpling
Gang" is the story of young, fantasy/sci-fi aficionado Gavin Gore and his
friends who think they've found Bigfoot after stumbling onto some huge
footprints in the woods. Two of Gavin's dim-witted neighbors hatch a scheme to
profit from the situation and hilarity ensues.
"'The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang' is a hilarious comedy and we are thrilled
to have the opportunity to count it among our first releases," said Sofia
Sondervan, Senior Vice President of SONY BMG Film.
"The incredible team behind 'The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang' makes it a
perfect film for our audience and a natural to succeed in the home
entertainment market," said Jim Wilson, Executive Vice President, General
Manager of Home Entertainment for SONY BMG. "We're excited for the opportunity
that this acquisition presents."
"The making of this film has been an utterly enjoyable partnership for all
of us throughout production and the festival," said Mark Kassen. "SONY BMG's
enthusiasm and ingenuity for distributing the film is a great fit and very
exciting for all of us at Trigger Street."
The deal was negotiated by Cinetic Media on behalf of Trigger Street and
by Chuck Fleckenstein on behalf of SONY BMG.
SONY BMG Film. A division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, was established
in August of 2005 in order to develop, finance and produce music-related
theatrical films. They will commence production in the spring on "Reggaeton"
to be directed by Alejandro Chomski and produced with Nuyorican Films.
