‘The Faceless Man.’
With cinemas closed or operating at limited capacity in many markets, James Di Martino’s debut feature The Faceless Man is set to reach millions of people where they live – on multiple streaming platforms.
The writer-director’s horror movie inspired by harrowing personal experience will premiere on August 28 in English-speaking territories on Amazon Prime, Vimeo On Demand, Gumroad and Reelhouse.
In other deals negotiated by New York-based international sales agent Hewes Pictures, the movie starring Sophie Thurling, Lorin Kauffeld, Roger Ward and Andy McPhee will be released on digital platforms in the US by Freedom Cinema, followed by DVD.
Several months after the VOD premieres, it will screen on Tubi, the free, advertising-supported streaming platform owned by Fox Entertainment which operates in the US, the UK and Australia.
That means a long tail for the film which premiered last October at Monster Fest and had a limited release on eight screens,...

"Whatever you do... don't go into the workshop." Freedom Cinema has released an official trailer for an indie horror film from Australia called The Faceless Man, which is set to open in the US on VOD later this month. This premiered at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival last year, where it won a bunch of awards. Sophie Thurling stars as a cancer survivor who goes out to a country house with her friends. At first they're terrorized by red neck locals, but at the same time a para-normal monster "seen as the faceless man" haunts the house pushing the friends to their limits. The cast includes Andy McPhee, Roger Ward, Lucas Pittaway, Albert Goikhman, Brendan Bacon, and Daniel Reader. This looks like a wild Oz-sploitation mashup of all kinds of crazy horror concepts. And there's a killer poster for it - also seen below. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster...

‘The Faceless Man.’
The Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival (HÕFF) in Estonia may be one of the world’s more obscure festivals but entering The Faceless Man there has paid dividends for the writer-director James Di Martino.
The filmmaker and his fellow producer Daniel Facciolo had planned to attend the festival, which is due to take place from April 25-28 and may still happen online, but for obvious reasons can’t go.
However Di Martino was contacted by Josh Guttman of New York-based international sales agent Hewes Pictures and a deal was signed.
“Previously we had a sales agent lined up with the idea of launching the film at Cannes, but we had not signed,” Di Martino tells If.
“As Covid-19 will prevent any big markets for a long time, Hewes Pictures contacted me with the idea of releasing on alternative platforms and made a good offer.

Sophie Thurling in ‘The Faceless Man.’
Writer-director James Di Martino did not like any of the distribution deals he was offered for his debut feature The Faceless Man, so he is releasing the film in Australia and New Zealand with the help of a marketing team he has assembled.
The privately-funded horror movie inspired by personal experience will open in cinemas on October 31 – Halloween – after the world premiere on October 12 at Cinema Nova as part of Monster Fest.
Sophie Thurling plays the protagonist Emily, a cancer survivor who embarks on a drug-fueled holiday with several friends. Her fears of a recurrence of the illness are triggered when she encounters a faceless monster plus enraged locals who have a strict no-drugs policy and a group of Russian mobsters who are searching for a missing suitcase.
The cast includes Roger Ward as the leader of the town’s bikie gang, Andy McPhee...
