Dogwoof has acquired all foreign rights for Ryan Mullins’ documentary Chameleon, currently in production.
The acquisition will see Dogwoof acting as sales agent for all territories, across all platforms, and will include a UK distribution deal.
Chameleon is the story of Anas Aremeyaw Anas, a deep-cover investigative journalist in Ghana who exposed a sex-trafficking ring by masquerading as a bartender, uncovered deplorable conditions in Accra’s psychiatric hospital by admitting himself, and posed as a Crown Prince in order to bypass a rebel checkpoint. The documentary follows Anas on his next big case.
Due for completion in late 2014, Chameleon was pitched at Hotdocs Forum, and has also received development and production grants from the Sundance Institute.
Vesna Cudic, of Dogwoof Global, described the film as “an exhilarating story with a charismatic protagonist, and unprecedented access”.
Dogwoof will release the film to UK audiences in 2015 and act as international sales agents.

The 14th annual Boston Underground Film Festival wrapped up on April 1 with their Bacchus Awards ceremony, named after the fest’s bunny mascot.
The big winners were: Winnipeg filmmaker Steven Kostanski took home the Best of Fest Feature award for Manborg, his over-the-top action and low-fi special effects homage to ’80s direct-to-video movies; while U.S. filmmaker Robert Putka won Best of Fest Short for his provocative tale of young romance, Mouthful, which was positively reviewed on Bad Lit just a few weeks ago.
Jamie Heinrich took home his second ever Bacchus Award, the Most Effectively Effectively Offensive award, for Happily Never After, a feature-length version of the short film that he won the Best of Fest Short Award back in 2010. Another Buff alumni, Richard Bates Jr., won the Director’s Choice Feature award for Excision, another feature-length film adapted from a popular short.

The 14th annual Boston Underground Film Festival is ready to kick ass and take names on March 29 to April 1 at the Brattle Theatre. And a few of those names will look familiar to Buff fanatics — and underground film fans the world over.
A trio of Buff favorites are returning to the fest with debut feature films after totally killing it with their amazing short films in the past. Jamie Heinrich‘s Happily Never After is a feature-length expansion of the short film that took home the Best of Fest Award in 2010, but with more solid and mature themes as the movie explores the problematic life of a degenerate photographer.
Another former award winner is Richard Bates Jr. who will be screening Excision, another feature-length extension of a short film, this one about a teenage girl who exercises her morbid obsession with surgery every chance she gets.

The 14th annual Boston Underground Film Festival has announced a few of the films they’ve already selected to screen on March 29 to April 1, including several regular Buff favorite filmmakers ready to make their spectacular return.
Most exciting is the feature film Happily Never After by Jamie Heinrich who, back in 2010, took home the Buff Best of Fest Short Award. However, this new feature is more dramatic in nature, telling the story of a lecherous photographer (Jason Carrougher) who attempts to connect with the son (Ryan Wichert) he never knew he had.
Watch the movie trailer for Happily Never After:
Also returning to Buff is Canadian filmmaker Steven Kostanski with his debut feature Manborg, a tribute to ’90s direct-to-video movies about a dead soldier turned into a cyborg killing machine designed to stop a demon invasion.
