Megan Griffiths Announces Unusual Release Strategy for SADIE That Hopes to De-Mystify Independent Film Distribution
Megan Griffiths (Animal Kingdom, Room 104, Lucky Them) is a writer/director with impressive credits on both the big and small screens who unveiled an unusual but exciting release model for her latest film, SADIE . Like many others, I have been closely watching while directors like Steven Soderbergh, Rob Zombie, and Kevin Smith have shied away from traditional release models to forge their own paths in this new media landscape. Check out the press release below. Filmmaker Megan Griffiths announced today that she and producers Lacey Leavitt and Jennessa West will independently release her acclaimed drama Sadie. Working with creative distribution strategist Mia Bruno, the film will begin its roll-out in New York and Los Angeles on October 12th. Winner of the Gryphon Jury Award at the 2018 Giffoni Film Festival in Italy, SADIE premiered at SXSW in March and features a breakout turn by newcomer Sophia Mitri Schloss in the title role.
