LAFF | Gigantic acquires "Must Read After My Death"
Gigantic Releasing has picked up all North American and English-speaking territories to Morgan Dews' debut docu, "Must Read After My Death" ahead of its U.S. preem at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The film premiered at Hot Docs.
Docu chronicles the life of troubled family during the turbulent '60s and is based on the home recordings, snapshots and transcripts of the filmmaker's grandmother. Gigantic will release the film at the end of 2008.
“With Morgan Dews’s stunning film debut, we are discovering a new director with an artist’s eye and the power of a great story-teller," said Mark Lipsky, Gigantic's president. "He has taken the unique and stirring details of his own family and turned it into a tale that speaks to the trials of family life everywhere.”
