FilmSharks Snags Sebastian Schindel’s Thriller ‘A Silent Death,’ Sells to Disney’s Star Distribution (EXCLUSIVE)


FilmSharks has picked up Sebastian Schindel’s ‘A Silent Death’ and sold Latin American theatrical rights to Disney’s Star Distribution.

Starring Joaquín Furriel(“The Boss, Anatomy of a Crime,” Netflix’s “Rest in Peace”), Soledad Villamil (“The Secret in Their Eyes”) Alejandro Awada (“Nine Queens”) and Maria Marull (“Wild Tales”), the psychological thriller is set in the rugged landscapes of 1980s Patagonia where a seasoned hunting guide makes a startling discovery involving his niece, compelling him to investigate and uncover the dark secrets of that time to seek justice. “We believe a world class film like ‘A Silent Death’ is in the best hands with The Walt Disney Company and FilmSharks,” added Esteban Mentasti. Other upcoming releases on FilmSharks’ slate include romantic thriller “55,” a U.S.-India co-production described as “Slumdog Millionaire” meets “City of God”; Stop Motion animation feature “Dahlia and the Red Book,” distributed by Disney’s Star in Latin America; Cannes-winning director Lucia Puenzo’s “Electrophilia” and sci fi horror drama “Pacific” starring Colombia’s Manolo Cardona (“Narcos”).
