Quiver Distribution announced today that they have acquired the North American rights to urban coming-of-age adventure/drama 1-800-HOT-NITE, which will be released on November 4, 2022.  The sophomore feature film from award-winning writer/director Nick Richey (Low, Low), 1-800-HOT-NITE stars Dallas Dupree Young (“Cobra Kai”, The Royal), Gerrison Machado (“The Power”), Mylen Bradford (“Abbott Elementary”), and Ali Richey (Low Low).

Producers include Nick Richey, Ali Richey, Zach Mann, Nathan Presley, Trevor Lee Georgeson, Phoenix Vaughn, Ben Jagger, and Warren Pereira. Executive Producers include Mark Mathias Sayre, Adam Merino, Mary Aloe, Andrea Bucko, Ryan Isaacson, Jason Marzano, Chai Mann, and Joy Mann.  The film is a Halfway Crooks production in association with Lexicon/Aloe Entertainment/Sugar Rush Pictures.  Larry Greenberg negotiated the deal on behalf of Quiver with Mary Aloe of Aloe Entertainment on behalf of the filmmakers.

From the moment police break down Tommy’s (Young) door and arrest his father, his world is turned upside down. Faced with a parentless future, Tommy escapes child protective services’ custody with his best friends Steve (Bradford) and O’Neill (Machado) into the LA streets—packed with men trying to rob them, cops chasing them, a python, a fist fight, a first kiss and phone sex.  Throughout it all, Tommy keeps calling the 800 number, as he feels the woman on the line (Ali Richey) is the only adult he can confide in. By the end of the night, the boys’ brotherhood breaks down as they cross the threshold into adulthood.

The film had its world premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in the Spring, and most recently claimed the Audience Award for Fusion Features at Dances with Films 25 in Hollywood.

“Nick’s distinct vision deftly captures the thin line between youth and adulthood,” said Quiver Distribution Co-Presidents Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman. “With an exceptional up-and-coming cast paired with a fresh, heartfelt script, this urban odyssey is sure to provide lessons, laughs, tears, and lays bare the often-awkward memories of one’s own adolescence.”

Quiver Distribution recently acquired Steve Pink’s intimate relationship drama The Wheel starring Amber Midthunder and Taylor Gray; SXSW Midnighter Audience Award-winning horror feature Bitch Ass from Bill Posely; and announced an early 2023 release of Becky 2: The Wrath Of Becky, the sequel to the 2020 sleeper-hit horror thriller Becky, starring Lulu Wilson And Seann William Scott.

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

By
David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic films ever made. It operates like a riddle that refuses to be solved, luring the viewer into a world where time, memory, and identity dissolve into one another. What begins as a mysterious, almost whimsical Hollywood fairy tale gradually transforms into a psychological nightmare. By the end, it’s clear that what we’ve been watching is not a mystery to be unraveled but an emotional landscape, the mind of a woman caught between fantasy and despair. The film tells the story of two women, Betty Elms and Rita, whose lives intertwine after Rita survives a car crash and loses her memory. Betty, a bright and optimistic aspiring actress freshly arrived in Los Angeles, takes her in. Together, they embark on an investigation into Rita’s identity, which unfolds like a noir detective story bathed in dreamlike light. Everything about this world feels heightened: Betty’s charm, the coincidence of events, and the ease with w...

Explaining the Ending of No Country for Old Men

By
No Country for Old Men is a tense, spare, and philosophical thriller that upends traditional narrative expectations. While it contains the elements of a crime drama—drug deals, hitmen, shootouts—it refuses to follow a conventional path. By the time the film ends, the central conflict seems unresolved, the villain walks away, and the protagonist we’ve been following disappears offscreen. To understand the film’s ending, one must look beyond plot and consider its themes: fate, violence, moral decay, and the erosion of order in the modern world. The Narrative Setup The story begins with Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a Vietnam veteran who discovers a drug deal gone wrong in the Texas desert and makes off with $2 million in cash. Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a remorseless hitman, is sent to retrieve the money. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a weary and introspective lawman, tries to make sense of the violence unfolding around him. At first glance, the film appears to set up a c...
