Spiral Farm, the coming-of-age drama from writer-director Alec Tibaldi and starring Piper De Palma in her feature film debut, has been acquired by Indican Pictures. The pic, which bowed this year at Slamdance, will now hit theaters in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago beginning December 13, with a digital release to follow.
Amanda Plummer, Jade Fusco, Cosimo Fusco, Teo Halm, Sara Anne and Landen Beattie also star in the pic, about teenager named Anahita growing up in a commune where life is disrupted by the arrival of two mysterious outsiders. The film depicts families in the modern age where utopia is not always what it seems, and also why we should not be so quick to judge those that live differently than ourselves.
Michael Hoopingarner, Madeline Tibaldi, Nikal Shyam Sunder, Eduardo Moises Solera and Ming are producers, with Ron Bozeman executive producer.

On tap right now is a bizarre little clip from a bizarre little film which played at this year's Slamdance Film Festival. Read on for details regarding Rover along with the trailer.
Tony Blahd’s film stars Reggie Gowland, Jonathan Randell Silver, Liam Torres, Natalie Thomas, Jade Fusco and Steve Siddell.
Synopsis
In their dilapidated church headquarters, a greatly diminished and dispirited cult awaits the sign to off themselves. Their hapless leader, Save, concocts a plan: to quell infighting and give them purpose in life before their deaths, he fakes a prophecy instructing them to make a movie and share their story with the world. There’s just one problem: they don’t know the first thing about film production. So they recruit a director, and in the production of the movie, the once-disparate cult members find a uniting purpose. But just as they hit their stride, Dave receives a true prophecy.
