Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired the North America rights for Touch Me following its festival run that included Sundance Midnight and SXSW, Variety reports.
In the psychosexual sci-fi horror comedy, two codependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist who may or may not be trying to take over the world.
Olivia Taylor Dudley (“The Magicians”), Lou Taylor Pucci (Evil Dead), and Jordan Garvis (“Orphan Black”) star.
Addison Heimann (Hypochondriac) writes and directs. Filmmakers Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead (“Loki,” The Endless) executive produce for Rustic Films.
“Touch Me is an astounding second feature,” said Yellow Veil Pictures co-founder Joe Yanick. “Addison is so playful in his stylistic choices and confident in allowing so many different ideas to bounce around form into a film that is in equal measure funny, sexy, weird, and bloody.”
Heimann added that she’s “admired Yellow Veil for quite some time and I am absolutely thrilled to be working with them for this freaky little movie.”
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Sundance, “Heimann has a lot on his mind with his sophomore feature and neatly condenses it all into a quirky, eccentric psychosexual camp odyssey. While its comedic elements become far more addictive than its drama, a game cast and inspired use of cinematic influences ensure a horror film unlike any other.”
