Sundance: NEON Acquires Worldwide Rights to Michael Shanks “Together” 

The first big deal out of Sundance has arrived. NEON has acquired the worldwide rights to writer/director Michael Shanks’ feature-length directorial debut “Together,” starring real-life couple Alison Brie (The Rental, Somebody I Used to Know) and Dave Franco (The Rental.)

The horror film also stars Damon Harriman (Better Man). The film is produced by Brie, Franco, Erik Feig and Julia Hammer for Picturestart, Tim Headington and Max Silva for Tango, Andrew Mittman for 1.21, and Mike Cowap for Princess Pictures.

In “Together,” a move to the countryside tests the limits of a couple’s relationship, where a supernatural encounter begins an extreme transformation of their love, their lives, and their flesh. The film is currently sitting strong at 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, following its premiere in the Midnight Section of the Sundance festival on Sunday, January 26.

NEON will release the film theatrically on August 1st.
