Spiral Farm, the coming-of-age drama from writer-director Alec Tibaldi and starring Piper De Palma in her feature film debut, has been acquired by Indican Pictures. The pic, which bowed this year at Slamdance, will now hit theaters in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago beginning December 13, with a digital release to follow.
Amanda Plummer, Jade Fusco, Cosimo Fusco, Teo Halm, Sara Anne and Landen Beattie also star in the pic, about teenager named Anahita growing up in a commune where life is disrupted by the arrival of two mysterious outsiders. The film depicts families in the modern age where utopia is not always what it seems, and also why we should not be so quick to judge those that live differently than ourselves.
Michael Hoopingarner, Madeline Tibaldi, Nikal Shyam Sunder, Eduardo Moises Solera and Ming are producers, with Ron Bozeman executive producer.
