Roadside Attractions will distribute in the US “Derrick Comedy’s Mystery Team” – the first feature length film from Derrick Comedy, one of the web’s most successful comedy teams. The group will embark on an innovative advance-release tour of colleges in the late summer, to be followed by a national release this fall. Directed by Dan Eckman, whose short film Checkout won Best College Short at the HBO Comedy Arts Festival, Mystery Team had its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
“This film is a jaw-dropping mash-up of absurd comedy and a dark crime mystery,” said d’Arbeloff, “It’s no wonder Derrick ’s shorts have been viewed over 100 million times online. Their enormous fan base will be a key part of this release. We’re thrilled to be working with the team.”
“We are excited to be partnering with Roadside for the release of this movie,” said Eckman. “They combine a wealth of experience with an openness to new ideas. We view the marketing as an extension of the filmmaking process, and we’ve always seen this as an ‘unconventional conventional’ movie. We hope to carry that spirit through the release.”
