Amok Films is a young production company hellbent on making unique and engaging films that reflect the uncompromising vision of its directors. Its first short film, "Adults Only," premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2006, won the Special Mention and went on to screen at over 20 international film festivals, garnering several more awards along the way. "Girl in a Soap Bubble" (also 2006), a near-silent comedy set in a laundry shop, debuted at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival to rapturous audience response and was invited back to the festival the following year!
This year, Amok Films released its first full-length feature film. World-premiering in competition at the Venice Film Festival's Critic's Week, "Sell Out!" brought the house down with laughter and applause at all 3 of its screenings, eventually winning the Young Cinema Award for Alternative Vision and developing a devoted cult following.
While "Sell Out!" makes its way around the world's film festivals, the minds behind Amok Films continue to work, quietly putting together what will hopefully be another unique, free-spirited feature film.
