Indomina Releasing have made three third post-TIFF pick-up in just as many weeks, landing their two film from down under in Ben C. Lucas’s Wasted on the Young. Described as “one of the bravest and most stylistically innovative films to come out of Australia in years, Wasted on the Young is sure to provoke spirited and sustained debate” by TIFF, the pic will likely see a release sometime next year.
The Aussie pic stars Oliver Ackland, Adelaide Clemens and Alex Russell in the story of a high school swim captain and campus drug dealer (Russell) who seeks revenge when a sophomore (Clemens) rejects his advances in favor of his stepbrother (Ackland). An incident at a party then sets off a dramatic chain of events.
Again, we figure that the new label will begin their film distribution activities sometime in the new year, but hopefully they won’t make the mistake of waiting until their slate is readily available online.
