Award-winning horror satire K-SHOP starring Ziad Abaza ('Tyrant') and Reece Noi ('Game of Thrones')

BREAKING GLASS OPENS K-SHOP

  

Cannibal Horror’s North American DVD

& VOD Roll-Out Begins December 12

Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired North American rights to writer-director Dan Pringle’s cult horror thriller K-SHOP. Breaking Glass acquired rights to the film in August in a deal negotiated between Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff, High Octane Pictures CEO Galen Christy and Devilworks CEO Matteo Rolleri. The film will have a DVD and digital release through iTunes, Amazon Instant, Google Play, PlayStation, Xbox, and Vudu, as well as through local cable and satellite providers on December 5.

K-SHOP held its world premiere at the Dead by Dawn Horror Film Festival, and its US premiere at the NYC Horror Film Fest where it won Best Special Effects. The film went on to win numerous awards, including the Festival Prize at the London Independent Film Festival, and the Méliès d'argent Award at the Lund Fantastisk Film Festival. K-SHOP also played multiple festivals including MOTELX – Lisbon International Horror Festival, Razor Reel Flanders Film Festival, and the Southside Film Festival.

Described as a “cult classic” and a “twisted tale” (HeyUGuys) where “a little shop of horrors emerges in a kebab takeaway” (Times UK) and “writer/director Dan Pringle has a gift for the gruesome” (Total Film), K-SHOP stars Ziad Abaza (‘Tyrant’, Sand Castle), Reece Noi (‘Game of Thrones’), Darren Morfitt (Dog Soldiers), and Ewen MacIntosh (The Lobster).

After his father is killed in an altercation with drunken thugs, Salah's world is plunged into darkness. Forced into running the family kebab shop alone, Salah struggles to manage the increasingly rowdy nightlife. When a fight with an angry customer goes fatally wrong, he finds himself with a dead body on his hands. Having no faith in the authorities, Salah disposes of the body in the one place he knows best: the kebabs. As the shop's gullible customers devour the new recipe, Salah develops a taste for the kill and seizes the opportunity to turn vigilante, seeking vengeance for the abusive drunkards plaguing the streets.

K-SHOP is the debut feature from British born writer/director Dan Pringle. In 2009, Dan relocated to Bournemouth on the South Coast of the UK to develop White Lantern Film with Producer Adam Merrifield as a vehicle for producing thematically engaging independent feature films. In August 2016, White Lantern announced the development of Pringle’s next feature Britannica, a futuristic thriller exploring themes of immigration and national identity.

“Writer-Director Pringle has created a dazzling mix of horror and satire, sprinkled in a touch of black humor, and combined it all with cannibalism in this well-crafted diatribe on the condescending treatment of immigrants”, said Richard Ross, Co-President of Breaking Glass. “Led by a chilling and commanding performance by Ziad Abaza, K-Shop is a terrifying look at a quiet man pushed way beyond his limit.”

"I'm looking forward to unleashing K-Shop on the US", said writer/director Dan Pringle. "Our film industry exports in the UK are leaning toward big period dramas and loose-mouthed London gangster movies, so I can't wait to share a story rooted in an authentically different area of British society with US audiences."

BREAKING GLASS PICTURES CELEBRATES HIP-HOP WITH THE STORY OF WU-TANG

Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired World Rights to Gerald “Gee-Bee” Barclay’s nostalgic, hip-hop documentary WU: THE STORY OF THE WU-TANG CLAN. Breaking Glass acquired World Rights to the film in February in a deal negotiated between Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff and director Gerald “Gee-Bee” Barclay of Gee-Bee Productions. Breaking Glass is planning the re-release of the film on all major North American TVOD platforms July 25, 2017.

Called “one of the 25 best Hip-Hop Documentaries of all time” (Complex), WU: THE STORY OF THE WU-TANG CLAN will reach VOD platforms just in time for the 20th anniversary of the iconic album, ‘Wu-Tang Forever’; an album that’s been called “one of the greatest hip-hop LPs of all time” (Melody Maker), and which earned the group the title of “musical revolutionaries” (Entertainment Weekly).

WU: THE STORY OF THE WU-TANG CLAN begins in the summer of 1993, when the Wu-Tang Clan emerged from the slums of Staten Island, NY and took the hip-hop world by storm. Their legacy spanned over a decade, selling more than 20 million albums. Their talents brought them success and their music made them legends. This is their story...

The film is directed and narrated by Gerald K. Barclay. Professionally known as Gee-Bee, Barclay settled in New York after fleeing the devastating civil war in his home country of Liberia. He gained early filmmaking experience on Abel Ferrara’s “King Of New York”, Spike Lee’s “Jungle Fever” before enrolling into a mentorship under Emmy award-winning filmmaker Tony Lover at Liberty Studios. Barclay later formed Gee-Bee Productions and went on to helm hundreds of music videos for artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Master P., Snoop Dogg, Bounty Killa, Mystikal, Pig Pun, Ill & Al Skratch and The Gap Band. Barclay’s first feature film, “Bloody Streetz”, a gritty urban thriller that won critical praise and a Vision Award at the 2002 Pan African Film. In 2001, Gee-Bee directed the visionary and critically-acclaimed feature length documentary, “Liberia: The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here”. His more recent works include the award-winning short film entitled; "The Bully", as well as “Liberia Will Rise”, the sequel to “The Love of Liberty”. Barclay is currently working on an autobiography chronicling over 30 years with the Wu-Tang Clan, entitled “Shooting the Clan” and co-authored by Gerlach-Petrovic.

“I met the members of the Wu-Tang Clan in the summer of 1983, and, during that time, we managed to forge a very strong creative relationship”, said director Gerald “Gee-Bee” Barclay. “From ‘36 Chambers’ to ‘Wu-Tang Forever’, I am honored to capture many of those moments on film to memorialize one of the greatest hip-hop groups in history.”

“As a longtime fan of the Wu-Tang Clan's music, it is a great pleasure to bring this origin story to the digital space for audiences to view”, said Michael Repsch, VP of Sales & Distribution at Breaking Glass. “We are proud to have this enlightening piece, especially as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of their legendary album Wu-Tang Forever!'
