'SPACE MONKEYS': The Anticipated Market Debut at the Upcoming AFM
Directed by Aldo Iuliano, the Italian thriller "SPACE MONKEYS" is on course to dazzle buyers at the imminent American Film Market in Santa Monica. Produced by Freak Factory in collaboration with RAI Cinema, this spine-tingling film combines elements of coming-of-age and thriller genres in a seamless blend.
A Story Like No Other
The plot of "SPACE MONKEYS" unfolds at an unforgettable end-of-summer bash, where a group of five teenagers accidentally discover a mysterious app. The app dares them to embark on increasingly hazardous challenges. As the stakes rise, friendships are strained, and the teens find themselves grappling with life-altering consequences.
A Stellar Team
Aldo Iuliano, best known for directing fifteen short films including the highly acclaimed “Penalty”, helms this ambitious project. His distinctive vision for storytelling is evident in his feature-length debut.
The film cats features Soud Arsane ("A Genoux Les Gars"), Amanda Campana (known for her Netflix role in “Summertime”), Riccardo Mandolini (from Netflix's “Baby”), and Haroun Fall (of the Netflix series “Zero”).
Behind The Lens
Daniele Ciprì, whose cinematography has graced films like "The First King" and "Piranhas," lends his eye to "SPACE MONKEYS". His contribution elevates the movie's visual landscape, making every frame a piece of art. Marco Spoletini, the celebrated editor known for "Dogman" and "Gomorra," completes the creative team, ensuring that the film's pacing and narrative flow are in perfect harmony.
Making International Waves
The movie has already generated buzz after its international premiere at the recent Hamilton Film Festival in Canada and is following a successful theatrical release in Italy. EuroObscura is responsible for handling the international sales of the film at AFM, which runs from the 31st of October to the 5th of November in Santa Monica.
For those attending the American Film Market, "SPACE MONKEYS" is a title that should not be missed. Its blend of suspense, emotion, and high stakes promise to make it one of the standout films of the event.
