Sundance Offbeat Horror Movie 'Touch Me' Lands North American Distribution (EXCLUSIVE)

Published 13 hours ago2 minute read

Yellow Veil Pictures has bought North America rights for Addison Heimann’s offbeat horror “Touch Me,” following its festival run at Sundance Midnight and SXSW.

“Touch Me” follows “two co-dependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist who may or may not be trying to take over the world.” Olivia Taylor Dudley (“The Magicians,” “She Dies Tomorrow”) stars alongside Lou Taylor Pucci (“Evil Dead”)  and Jordan Garvis (“The Lake”) from a script from Heimann. It’s produced by Heimann, John Humber and David Lawson Jr and executive produced by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead for Rustic Films.

“’Touch Me’ is an astounding second feature,” said Yellow Veil Pictures Joe Yanick. “Addison is so playful in his stylistic choices and confident in allowing so many different ideas to bounce around form into a film that is in equal measure funny, sexy, weird, and bloody.”

Heimann said he’s “admired Yellow Veil for quite some time and I am absolutely thrilled to be working with them for this freaky little movie.”

The director previously directed “Hypochondriac” which starred Zach Villa, Devon Graye and Madeline Zima

The deal was negotiated by Hugues Barbier, Justin Timms and Joe Yanick for Yellow Veil Pictures and Peter van Steemburg and Pip Ngo for XYZ Films.

Yellow Veil Pictures is a New York and Los Angeles based worldwide film sales company whose slate of recent movies includes “Rebel” by Adil & Bilall, Anthony Penta’s “We Kill for Love,” and Larry Fessenden’s “Blackout.”
