A24 is reuniting with Causeway Films (Talk to Me) and Ari Aster’s Square Peg (Hereditary) for a feature length adaptation of Masha Ko‘s Sundance short film The Looming. Check out our review of the short here.
Masha Ko will write and direct The Looming. The short film stars Joseph Lopez, Kolten Horner, Brianne Buishas, and Alyssa Nicole.
About the short film: “When a virtual home assistant speaker, Luna, picks up the strange noise Chester has heard in his house, he realizes that it may not be a symptom of dementia.”
The Looming was a part of this year’s Sundance Film Festival’s Midnight Short Film Program. Ko won the Short Film Special Jury Prize for Directing the short.
The jurors said of Ko’s short, “Terrifyingly beautiful seems like an oxymoronic phrase, but this terrifying yet beautiful short left us deeply moved and served as a haunting reminder to not send your parents’ calls to voicemail.”
A24 will produce alongside Square Peg’s Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone and Causeway Films’ Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton. A24 will finance and handle worldwide releasing.
