Buyers pass Reel Suspects' TEST

Panorama title TEST by Chris Mason Johnson is heating up sales for Reel Suspects ahead of its European premiere.

Deals have been done with Peccadillo in the UK, KMBO in France and Mayfly in Poland.

TEST is based on the director’s own experiences as a professional dancer. It stars Scott Marlowe as a young dancer living in 1985 San Francisco.

The film won two prizes at Outfest; Wolfe and Variance will release in the US on June 6. 

Reel Suspects CEO Matteo Lovadina said: “TEST has already proven its potential in US festivals and we’re very happy to have sold it to some key territories already. 

“Beyond the personal story, the film is a very sensitive historical representation of the early years of AIDS, a moment that touched all human beings. Additionally, the strong ’80s soundtrack and the specially choreographed dance sequences will attract a wide range public.”
