Oscilloscope Laboratories Buys Dark Comedy ‘Vulcanizadora’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Joel Potrykus's 'Vulcanizadora,' a dark comedy that premiered at Sundance, has sold to Oscilloscope Laboratories.
“Vulcanizadora” premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, scoring strong reviews with Variety praising the film as “surprisingly moving in its depiction of mid-life crisis.” Oscilloscope first collaborated with Potrykus on the breakout cult favorite, “Buzzard.” “Vulcanizadora” marks the fourth collaboration for Potrykus and Oscilloscope Laboratories. The film is a definitive showing of him as an auteur, exemplified in the stunning 16mm images and the gravity of the characters’ stakes, all while maintaining humor, horror, and humanity at the core. Oscilloscope Laboratories has released several acclaimed indies, including Lynne Ramsay’s “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” Kelly Reichardt’s “Wendy and Lucy,” and John Cameron Mitchell’s “Shortbus.” It recently released “Universal Language,” which was shortlisted for best international feature at the 97th Academy Awards.
