Edge Entertainment secures Sundance Winner

 

Edge Entertainment returns from the EFM in Berlin with a new acquisition, the Grand Jury Prize winner The Wolfpack.

The Wolfpack (Magnolia Pictures International) directed by Crystal Moselle follows the Angulo brothers who have lived locked away from society in an apartment on Manhattan, creating elaborate sets and props inspired by their favorite films. The Wolfpack won the Grand Jury Prize in the US Documentary Section at Sundance 2015. Edge has acquired The Wolfpack for Scandinavia, Iceland and the Baltics.

Edge is also excited to announce the recent acquisitions of Return to Ithaca (Funny Ballons) by Laurent Cantet for the Scandinavian and Icelandic market and 10 000 KM (Visit Film) by Carlos Marques-Marcet, who recently received a Goya for Best New Director.

Ignas Scheynius, the Chairman of the Board for Edge stated: “We are thrilled to have secured the rights to the most high profile doc from Sundance 2015. The Wolfpack is simply an amazing piece of work. Edge Entertainment had a great first year and we look forward to an even stronger 2015.” 

Edge Entertainment is a new independent distribution company that aims to acquire and distribute upmarket films with a breakout potential across Scandinavia, Iceland and the Baltics.
