FilmSharks acquires "Snot & Splash" film, premiered at the Locarno Film Festival

FilmSharks has picked up global sales rights to Finnish children’s film “Snot & Splash: The Mystery of Disappearing Holes,” produced by It’s Alive Films and set for distribution in its native Finland (Scanbox), Scandinavian sub distribution by Sweden (Folkets Bio) and Norway (Norsk Filmdistribusjon), and Italy in the spring (I Wonder Pictures).

The adventure comedy will premiere on August 9 as part of Locarno Kids Screenings and presents Snot and Splash brothers, who are on a mission: they are trying to catch a thief who is stealing holes in the sleepy town of Mouthwater. But there is much more at stake, as the entire world could be sucked into a collapsing waste disposal system.

“We are very proud to be working with one of the most creative of Finnish production companies. Most great scripts and ideas are coming from Finland right now. It’s one of the hottest creative hubs,” said FilmSharks CEO Guido Rud.

Teemu Nikki from It’s Alive Films added: “I wanted to make a family film in my own style, which means it’s a film for humans. Not just ‘small humans,’ otherwise known as kids.”
