Drafthouse Films has stepped up to acquire the title.
Billed as a psychedelic trip into magic and madness, A Field In England follows a group of English Civil War soldiers in the 17th century who are captured by an alchemist and led into a vast mushroom field, where they fall victim to violent and nightmarish forces.
A theatrical and VOD release is planned for 2013.
When we world-premiered Ben’s debut feature Down Terrace at Fantastic Fest in 2009, he deservedly won top prize, the AMD Next Wave award. We knew we were witnessing the debut of a major talent. says Fantastic Fest Founder and Drafthouse Films CEO Tim League, Ben represents the ideal filmmaker we love to support at Drafthouse Films and fully embodies our unique brand a visionary who compounds genre themes and artfully unusual sensibilities. We are incredibly honored to be working with him to release A Field In England.”
Im very excited to be working with Drafthouse on A Field in England. They are a great company who have released some groundbreaking films over the last few years. I went to Fantastic Fest in 2009 wanting to visit a cinema I’d read about for years (and to buy up as many Mondo posters as I was allowed to take on the plane), I came away with the start of a career. Drafthouse is a name that will always be special to me and Im really happy to be working side by side with them, says Wheatley.
