Blue Finch Films has boarded international sales, excluding North America, on LGBTQ+ body horror \u201cSwallowed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film is directed by Carter Smith, known for cult horror film \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d It follows two childhood friends, Benjamin and Dom, who are on the verge of being separated as the former is leaving rural Maine for Los Angeles. Dom has a plan to send Benjamin off with a pocketful of cash \u2014 all they have to do is deliver a package across the border. But things spiral wildly out of control when the package turns out to be something far more dangerous than they could have ever imagined.<\/p>\n

\u201cSwallowed\u201d has played at the Overlook Film Festival and Fantasia, and is due to play at Arrow Video FrightFest and Fantastic Fest. The film stars Jena Malone (\u201cThe Neon Demon\u201d), Cooper Koch (\u201cThey\/Them\u201d), Mark Patton (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2) and debutant Jose Colon.<\/p>\n

Written, directed and produced by Smith, \u201cSwallowed\u201d is the first feature film made under his All The Dead Boys production banner. The film was produced by Noah Lang, Helio Campos and Ross O\u2019Connor, with Evan Buxbaum and Josh Senior serving as executive producers.<\/p>\n

Blue Finch Films will be starting international sales on the film during the Toronto International Film Festival in September.<\/p>\n

Smith said: \u201cAs a queer kid, growing up in a small town felt dangerous. At least as dangerous as the horror movies I loved so much. Maybe more so. I wanted so badly to see myself in the films I loved. What I got were campy sidekicks. Deranged serial killers. Faint undercurrents and vague subtext which barely touched on the loneliness I was feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201d \u2018Swallowed\u2019 is a queer midnight love story that explores how far we are willing to go to protect the people we love \u2014 even when they can\u2019t always love us back. It\u2019s got blood. And pus. And sweat. And tears. And it\u2019s exactly the tender sweaty body horror film I wish my teenage self had found in my local video store,\u201d added Smith.<\/p>\n

Blue Finch\u2019s international slate includes Mali Elfmans\u2019s Tribeca selected \u201cNext Exit,\u201d the SXSW selected documentary \u201cOnce Upon A Time In Uganda,\u201d and horror-comedy \u201cShe Came From The Woods,\u201d starring Cara Buono (\u201cStranger Things\u201d) and William Sadler (the Bill & Ted franchise).<\/p>\n
