Exclusive: Toronto distributor to release psychological thriller in early 2018.
Indiecan Entertainment has picked up North American rights to Carolyn Saunders’ feature debut The Wasting.
The Toronto-based distributor plans a first quarter 2018 release on the unofficial Canada-uk co-production that was developed in Canada.
The Wasting takes place in a seemingly idyllic English village where a teenage girl who harbours a secret Canadian boyfriend stumbles towards sexual awakening.
