Grace Glowicki's 'Dead Lover' Secures North American Theatrical Release

The horror-comedy romance becomes the first acquisition of Cartuna and Dweck Productions' new distribution partnership after its SXSW debut.

Cartuna x Dweck, a new distribution venture, has acquired North American rights to Grace Glowicki's film 'Dead Lover' following its SXSW screening.
'Dead Lover,' a Frankenstein-inspired horror-comedy, premiered at Sundance earlier this year and features Glowicki as a grieving gravedigger attempting to resurrect her drowned lover.
The film, shot on 16mm and described as a grotesque yet imaginative rom-com, is Glowicki's sophomore feature as writer-director and co-stars Ben Petrie, who also co-wrote the script.
Cartuna and Dweck Productions aim to support independent, boundary-pushing storytellers with their new partnership, with 'Dead Lover' marking their inaugural release.
A theatrical release is planned, but no specific release date has been announced yet for the film, which has garnered attention for its unique tone and inventive storytelling.
