EXCLUSIVE: Award-winning genre film 'The Coffee Table' Scores North American Distribution Deal
The film industry is abuzz with excitement over the news that the award-winning genre film 'The Coffee Table' has secured a North American distribution deal. This comes as a major milestone for the film, which has already made waves at various film festivals around the world.
Cinephobia Releasing has snapped up North American rights to Caye Casas' Spanish-language black comedy horror, The Coffee Table. With a stellar festival performance at Tallinn Black Nights, the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival (where it won the White Raven prize) and Fantaspoa (where it won the best script and acting awards), The Coffee Table looks set for big things.
The film follows the struggles of a married couple raising their first child, who find themselves in strange circumstances after the husband buys a coffee table against his wife's wishes. Blending horror, comedy and family drama, The Coffee Table is produced by Alhena Productions, Apocalipsis Producciones and La Charito Films.
Founded by Ray Murray of TLA Releasing and Artsploitaton, Cinephobia is renowned for its portfolio of edgy genre and LGBTQ+ titles from around the world. Murray commented on the acquisition: "The Coffee Table proves that one can create a tense, shocking and terrifying genre film with little on-screen violence or blood. We can't wait to unleash Caye's Casas' film on American audiences!"
MPM Premium is in talks for sales to the UK, Italy, France, Scandinavia and Latin America.
