Worldwide Distribution
Sex,
drums, tequila, social networking, a pirate, morning after pills, Jesus and a
gun... It's one hot mess!
Acort
International, one of the top distributors of independent films in the global
marketplace, has recently acquired the dark horror/comedy “Quite A Conundrum” for world-wide
distribution. Distribution plans are currently in consideration which will

cable/satellite/internet VOD run as well as being showcased at this year’s 2013
American Film Market.
About
The Film:
Fed up with having “money people” have too much to say about his hart,
writer/director Thomas L. Phillips set out to make a film completely for
himself. “This is the movie I felt I needed to make, because I knew that in the
fall of 2011, I was set to direct another drama, and I just needed to step back
and do something crazy for myself.” So the director of the cult classic SPECIAL
dEaD thought about his favorite guilty pleasure films (American Pie, The
Hangover, American Psycho and Very Bad Things)
and drew upon influence from all of those films to come up with something new
that is unique, funny, dark, twisted, sadistic and just downright wrong. The
vicious blend gave birth to Quite A Conundrum.
After 12 years in Hollywood working as an editor, director and screenwriter,
Thomas L. Phillips took himself back to his Southern roots to rejuvenate his
passion for storytelling. The end result will make audiences laugh, cringe,
scream, cry and think to themselves “Why am I even watching this movie?” but
guess what? You will not be able to turn away from it no matter how hard you
try!
Quite
a Conundrum
is currently enjoying a successful festival run so far receiving 21 official
selections, 15 nominations and 7 awards. More festival information and the
official trailer are available at the official website.
More
information on the official release date in the United States is yet to be
announced. Official artwork and more news coming soon!
Full
Synopsis:
It
should have been just a normal day of sex, fun, alcohol, hormones and
debauchery for Tabitha and Mimi, two twenty somethings who care about nothing
but themselves and what chaos they can cause. But that so-called normalcy gets
tossed out the window when an unexpected and devastating event occurs at a
nighttime pool party. As the alcohol begins to wear off and the body count
rises, all hell breaks loose and there is no going back. As if the foul mouths,
perverted attitudes and devious natures of Tabitha and Mimi were not enough,
then just throw in Tabitha's walking porno of a boyfriend Sean and his new best
friend, the sweet Dutch. Then mix in Mimi's eighteen year old virginal,
confused and prudish sister Kylene and her sexually challenged boyfriend
Harris, and the events gets even saucier. Then shoot in a splash of the old
pervert Marc and his crazy unhinged wife Lola, and then toss in the Bible-thumping
Jesus-freak Thelma, and it gets a little more crazy, dangerous, insane and
scary.
