MAD HEIDI Lands Late 2022 North American Release From Raven Banner
Folks eagerly awaiting to check out Swissploitation thriller romp, Mad Heidi, will be pleased to learn that Raven Banner Entertainment has acquired the film for what’s being described as an “innovative” North American release plan.
The release will include a two-week stay in theaters followed by a two-month run on the film’s official website from December 8 with all the proceeds going straight to the filmmakers – Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein, as well as investors who helped push the film through crowdfunding.
Starring Alice Lucy, the film tracks a tale of bloody revenge when Heidi is torn from her simple and pure life in the Swiss Alps after her lover is brutally murdered by a cheese fascist, transforming herself into a formidable warrior to liberate her country. Hartmann and Klopfstein make their directing debut on the film, five years in the making after flourishing the concept from a viral poster and proof, and managing to crowdfund the film across nineteen countries, and scoring multiple festival screenings around the world.
Mad Heidi just premiered at more festivals in Spain, Italy and Switzerland, and is currently set to screen this Tuesday for the Vancouver Horror Show Film Festival where it has seven nominations, including Best Feature Film and Best Lead Performance.
