Indie distributor Halo-8
Entertainment has acquired the worldwide rights to Curt
Johnson's animal-rights documentary "Your Mommy Kills Animals,"
featuring interviews and appearances by a number of celebrities
including Katherine.
The film from Indie
Genius Prods. takes its cue from an FBI report labelling
animal-rights activists as a top terrorist threat and attempts
to take a balanced look at the issues surrounding their
sometimes violent tactics. In addition to getting stars' views
on animal rights, Johnson interviewed young members of the
activist group SHAC7, who went on trial after their Web site
promoted animal-rights protests.
After a one-week,
docu-category Oscar-qualifying run this summer booked by
producer-director Johnson before the acquisition, Halo-8 will
distribute "Animals" theatrically in major markets in September
and on video via WEA's Ryko Filmworks in November. |
