Alter Egos acquired by Phase 4 Films
The film was produced by Jordan Galland, Carlos Velazquez, Dan Farah of Farah Films (Relativity's reboot of The Crow, Screen Gem's Armored), Milan Chakraborty of Attic Light Films, and Executive Produced by Edelen McWilliams of Attic Light Films.
"We're so pleased to have Alter Egos joining the label," said Meyerowitz. "It's originality, wit, and of course genre, make it a natural fit for our Kevin Smith family."
Noted Farah: "Jordan and Kevin both have a strong inside understanding of the fanboy audience, which makes collaborating on this unique superhero comedy a perfect fit."
"I grew up watching Kevin Smith's films, which were a big inspiration for me, there's definitely some Kevin Smith DNA in my writing," said Galland. "It's a remarkable thing to have Alter Egos being presented by SModcast and Phase 4. Feels like meant to be."
Alter Egos is set in a world in which super heroes are real but have recently lost all government funding and public support. Out of that comes a quirky and very original comedy about an underappreciated superhero who jeopardizes a dangerous mission with his own emotional crisis, and the girl who comes to his rescue.
Phase 4 and SModcast Pictures' distribution partnership, which was announced in early 2012, will allow Phase 4 to acquire exclusive rights to exhibit and distribute up to twelve films per year under Smith's banner.
The deal for Alter Egos was negotiated by Phase 4's Larry Greenberg and Katharyn Howe with Maren Olson and Traction Media on behalf of the filmmakers. Galland is managed by Farah.
Alter Egos was released October 19th, 2012 and stars Kris Lemche, Brooke Nevin, Joey Kern, Danny Masterson, John Ventimiglia, Adam LeFevre, Kristina Klebe, Sean Lennon. The film is directed by Jordan Galland.
