"I guess I don't understand why the customer would want to sweep up their own crumbs?" Good question. Glass Eye Pictures has revealed a teaser trailer for an indie dark comedy called Crumb Catcher, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Chris Skotchdopole. This is premiering at Fantastic Fest down in Austin, Texas this week, with no official release date set yet - only more festivals. A newlywed couple is held captive in a remote lake house by a maniacally optimistic inventor and his sour wife who are desperate to finance his dream project with a half-baked blackmail plot. Fantastic Fest describe it as "a chamber piece that melds extreme anxiety with the worst salesmanship imaginable. Every single character is hilariously despicable in their own way, and each motivated by selfishness and ego." Starring Rigo Garay, Ella Rae Peck, John Speredakos, Lorraine Farris, and Rebecca Watson. Keep an eye out for this sneaky film.

Red Arrow Studios International has picked up international rights to “Controlling Britney Spears,” the follow-up documentary to “Framing Britney Spears,” produced by The New York Times and Red Arrow Studios’ Left/Right.
The documentary was inspired by a confidential report obtained by The New York Times in which Spears told a court investigator that her conservatorship had devolved into “an oppressive and controlling tool against her.” The new documentary reveals previously un-published details about the Times’ investigation which uncovered an extensive surveillance network created to monitor her every move. “Controlling Britney Spears” premiered last week on FX and Hulu in the U.S. It is directed by Samantha Stark, with Liz Day as supervising producer and reporter.
“We are delighted to be distributing this fascinating follow-up to one of the most talked about television events of the year, which sold widely across every continent,” said Red Arrow president and managing director Tim Gerhartz.
