This past weekend The Drownsman had its World Premiere at Fantasia International Film Festival, a leader on the genre film scene and one of the country’s most popular film festivals. We were ecstatic to be screened at the DB Clark Theatre to an enthusiastic audience of horror fans and media. It was a great reunion for the cast and crew as well, most of whom hadn't seen each other since filming wrapped in December. The screening was sponsored by Anchor Bay Entertainment, who announced that they had acquired the Canadian distribution rights to the film (update: this has now expanded to include the U.S., U.K. and Australia/New Zealand).
