Black Fawn Distribution Acquires Bonkers Sci-fi Comedy “The Hyperborean” – Retro VHS Artwork, Trailer & Exclusive Scene Declassified
TORONTO, CANADA (July 24, 2024) – Black Fawn Distribution is thrilled to announce the acquisition of The Hyperborean. The film is set to hit all major VOD platforms across Canada today (Wednesday, July 24, 2024) with a Blu-ray release slated for later this year. Black Fawn Distribution will be handling Canadian distribution rights for the title. The company has also released the exclusive opening scene from The Hyperborean, along with the retro VHS-style artwork that will accompany the film’s physical release this fall.
The Hyperborean features an ensemble cast that includes Liv Collins (The Hexecutioners), Tony Burgess (Pontypool), Ry Barrett (fresh off his starring role in the indie horror smash hit In A Violent Nature), Jessica Vano, Jonathan Craig, Marcia Alderson, and Justin Bott.
After a seasoned crisis manager injects himself into a dysfunctional family – and their faltering whiskey company – he must navigate them through a public relations nightmare involving a triple homicide, an Arctic ice mummy, and a batch of intergalactic moonshine.
In addition to The Hyperborean being available on Canadian VOD platforms and Blu-ray, Black Fawn Distribution will also offer the title as part of their popular limited edition Blacklist series. As always, the Blacklist Package will come with an assortment of cool, one-of-a-kind thematic items designed with the avid collector in mind.
