RESOLUTION, a strange and haunting feature by Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, has chilled audiences at the Tribeca Film Festival and Montreal’s Fantasia, and now it’s headed for wider exposure thanks to a just-announced distribution deal.

Tribeca Film has revealed that it has picked up North American rights to RESOLUTION; the company plans to open it in theaters in early 2013 simultaneous with on-demand release, where it will be available in 40 million-plus homes through video-on-demand platforms, as well as iTunes, Amazon Watch Instantly, VUDU and Xbox. More fest dates are in the offing as well between now and the commercial release. RESOLUTION stars Peter Cilella as a young man who treks into a remote, mountainous area to perform an intervention on his best friend Chris (Vinny Curran) to help him kick his drug habit. Over the course of those seven days, a series of strange events and confrontations lead them to believe they’re being watched, perhaps by something not of this world.

“Tribeca Film’s acquisition via XYZ Films is proof that when outsiders band together to make something that scares people while breaking their hearts and making them laugh, that movie will find equally daring industry leaders to passionately support it,” say Moorhead and Benson. “We’re grateful that audiences share that same excitement for a movie in which we chose to constantly do something different. It validates all the risks we took, so we’ll definitely be pushing it that much further on our next projects.” See our RESOLUTION review here, the movie’s official website here and its Facebook page here.
