EXCLUSIVE: Buffalo 8 has acquired streaming and VOD rights to INT. HALLWAY/NIGHT, an existentialist dark comedy from actor-director Billy Zane (Titanic), out of the Cannes Film Festival.

Details as to the release plan haven’t been disclosed. Co-written by Zane, Andre Alves, Nick Loeb and Hugo Melo, pic follows a film director (Zane) who checks in on his actress wife, who he suspects is having an adulterous affair, while she shoots a horror film in Georgia.

He soon finds the murderous plot of the film parallels his darkest fantasies of revenge, and one day during production wakes to find he has entered the film itself as the jealous and murderous husband in a comedic, meta telling of a doomed love triangle set in purgatory. “INT.HALLWAY / NIGHT explores the universal themes of infidelity and the variety of ways one processes the seemingly inescapable slide,” said Zane in a statement to Deadline. “From chaos and bloodshed to acceptance and unconditional love, it’s a road map to higher ground through the improvisational process of low budget filmmaking and all that one endures keeping it together on an underfunded, overworked and terribly flawed production.” Added Buffalo 8’s Head of Distribution, Nikki Stier Justice, “Billy Zane embraces narrative ingenuity in INT.HALLWAY/NIGHT, a film that transcends conventional storytelling.

It is a captivating blend of comedy, existentialism, and metafiction, offering an immersive experience that challenges perceptions and delights the senses.” INT.
