AFTER 40 YEARS -  OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

Indie U.S. distributor Muscle Distribution has picked up rights to our legendary left field feature GOING DOWN. The new 4K restoration launches theatrically in New York May 9, with other cities to follow.

After forty years, an email out of the blue has GOING DOWN finding a new audience. The email was from U.S. indie film distributor Muscle Distribution whose CEO Liz Purchell had found a VHS copy of the film in the remainders bin of a New York video shop. Fuzzy and faded as it was she fell in love with it. She really understood the picture. She got that it’s a movie for and about young women. Her company wanted distribution rights and they wanted to start with cinemas.

As luck would have it, at the same time, a couple of Australian industry angels were in the process of restoring the film to its former glory. Josh Pomeranz and his team at Spectrum Films and Peter Richards from The Grainery had pitched in their skills and services to bring the film back to life. Both liked the movie and remembered it fondly from its original local release.

Muscle Distribution CEO Purchell says she thinks the movie will resonate with young American audiences, “the relationships between the four girls and their concerns about life are universal”. Preview response has been strong and bookings from other U.S. cities are coming in. The film, which screened at the Sundance Film Festival, has never had a U.S. release. Details as we get closer to May 9.
