IFC Films has acquired \u201cHoller,\u201d a drama about a woman who joins a dangerous scrap metal crew in order to pay for her college education.<\/p>\n
The deal is for North American right. IFC will release the film in June 2021. \u201cHoller\u201d received critical claim both for Nicole Riegel\u2019s work behind the camera and for the lead performance of Jessica Barden. Variety\u2018s Peter Debruge praised the movie\u2019s grit, writing, \u201c\u2018Holler\u2019 is honest, which is not always what people want from movies, but it isn\u2019t your typical poverty porn. Riegel avoids the melodramatic gimmicks (e.g., a run-in with the police or the manipulative death of a loved one) that tellers of such working-class stories love to pull, trusting that audiences understand that the only happy ending \u2014 the only hopeful ending \u2014 is one that sees Ruth on her way out of Jackson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Riegel wrote the screenplay for the movie and is making her directorial debut. Barden starred in \u201cEnd of the F*cking World\u201d and recently appeared opposite Charlie Hunnam and Jack O\u2019Connell in \u201cJungleland.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHoller\u201d is set in Southern Ohio, an area hit hard by the collapse of manufacturing and a region with few opportunities to get ahead. That\u2019s why Ruth Avery (Barden) is willing to accept a punishing job working in the scrap yards, and to augment that living by stealing valuable metal from factories by night. But Ruth\u2019s plans to get her degree or complicated by the responsibility she feels to look after her troubled family.<\/p>\n
Gus Halper (\u201cSing Street\u201d), Pamela Adlon (\u201cBetter Things\u201d), Becky Ann Baker (\u201cFreaks and Geeks\u201d), and Austin Amelio (\u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d) co-star in the film. \u201cHoller\u201d is produced by Katie McNeill and Jamie Patricof of Hunting Lane Films, Christy Spitzer Thornton, Level Forward\u2019s Rachel Gould, and Adam Cobb, with executive producers Adrienne Becker, Abigail E. Disney, Paul Feig, and Jessie Henderson. The film was selected by the Toronto International Film Festival, SXSW Film Festival, and Deauville Film Festival in 2020. Riegel was included in Variety\u2018s \u201c10 Directors to Watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNicole Riegel\u2019s beautiful cinematic voice is an instant powerhouse \u2013 she has created a visually stunning, personal and singular vision of American life with empathy and passion,\u201d Arianna Bocco, president of IFC Films, said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with such an accomplished and innovative producing team to bring this tremendous debut to audiences nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Riegel added\u201d \u201c\u2018Holler\u2019 has been an enduring labor of love that I\u2019ve poured many years of my life into, and I am so thrilled that my first film has found a passionate and caring home in IFC Films. Arianna and her amazing team have consistently taken chances on bold women and their stories, and I\u2019m honored to be a part of that continuity.\u201d<\/p>\n
The deal for the film was negotiated by Bocco. The filmmakers were represented by ICM Partners, as well as Adrienne Becker and Roger Clark for Level Forward.<\/p>\n
