EXCLUSIVE: New Zealand psychedelic comedy movie The Paragon has landed North American distribution. Music Box Films and Doppelgänger Releasing have acquired the pic, which stars Benedict Wall, Florence Noble, and Jonny Brugh (Thor: Love and Thunder, What We Do in the Shadows).
From writer-director Michael Duignan, the quirky saga follows Dutch, an angry former tennis coach whose life has fallen apart since he was the victim of a hit-and-run a year ago.
In a bid to find the driver and take revenge, Dutch embarks on a strange psychic training course designed to unlock his latent mind powers. “The Paragon is a tale of revenge, redemption and the confounding ways that each of our destinies is tangled up with strangers,” said Duignan. “We were a small team making a story about big ideas, powered by the sheer love and madness of making independent movies.” Music Box Films is reviving its alternative distribution label Doppelgänger Releasing, which was created in 2013 as an additional avenue for exploring experimental and genre films.
The sale of the film was negotiated by Brian Andreotti of Doppelgänger Releasing and Patra Spanou at Patra Spanou Film on behalf of the filmmakers.
