Strand up with dead people
Strand has grabbed all US rights to Bruce LaBruce's "Otto: Or, Up With Dead People" while Millivres got rights to the UK. "Otto" premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival before moving on to Berlin's Panorama section. Jey Crisfar plays Otto, a zombie who's discovered by an aspiring filmmaker and cast into her political porno movie.
This is the sixth film LaBruce has released through Strand. Strand co-produced the helmer's previous films "Hustler White" and "Super 8 ½"
"We're thrilled to be continuing our longterm relationship with Bruce and Charlotte and can't imagine a better home for this unique and wonderful film," said both Marcus Hu and Jon Gerrans, Strand Co-Presidents.
Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com. 
I am not sure whether it does the film any justice, but this summary of Bruce LaBruce's "Otto: Or, Up With Dead People" is just hilarious: "Jey Crisfar plays Otto, a zombie who's discovered by an aspiring filmmaker and cast into her political p+rno movie." Must-See!
