Amazon Studios Exhort “Creative Control” on Benjamin Dickinson

Amazon Studios are high on Benjamin Dickinson‘s sophomore film. Not only have they acquired his second feature film, but they’ll be developing his next project as well. Variety reports that Amazon will partner with Magnolia Pictures to release Creative Control theatrically (unclear whether it’ll drop this year or next).

Gist: Written by Micah Bloomberg and Dickinson, this is described as a dark sci-fi comedy set in the near-future and telling the story of four Brooklynites whose tech-obsessed lifestyles get the better of them. Anxious, ambitious ad executive starts a chain reaction of destruction when he becomes obsessed with his best friend’s free-spirited girlfriend while working on a campaign for a new generation of Augmented Reality Glasses.

Worth Noting: His directorial debut, First Time was distributed by Film Movement.

Do We Care?: One of the better films to break out of this year’s SXSW, Creative Control won the special jury prize for visual excellence. Loads of potential upon its release.
