Anya Jaremko-Greenwold
Random Media has acquired two new titles for release in Summer 2015: “Camilla Dickinson” and “The Jokesters.”
Directed by Cornelia Duryée Moore, “Camilla Dickinson” is an adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel about the daughter of a wealthy family in 1948 Manhattan. Fifteen-year-old Camilla (Adelaide Clemens) lives a privileged life in New York City until her parents’ marriage grows increasingly rocky. Camilla finds a way to take her mind off things when she meets Frank, her best friend’s rebellious brother (Gregg Sulkin). Frank shows Camilla a world outside of her sheltered bubble, and she slowly begins to grow up. Supporting cast includes Cary Elwes, Samantha Mathis, Margaret Colin, Camryn Manheim and Robert Picardo.
Random Media has also acquired AJ Wedding’s “The Jokesters,” which has been a hit on the horror festival circuit. When Ethan, leader of the internet sensation “The Prankmasters,” announces he is getting married and leaving his friends and pranks behind, his buddies decide to pull off one final stunt before he goes: a “Cabin in the Woods”-style nightmare on his honeymoon. But the prank goes too far, and things begin to spiral out of control and into real terror.
