Array Releasing has acquired two new feature films from emerging South Asian female directors: Agam Darshi’s Donkeyhead, and Sujata Day’s Definition Please. The company has acquired distribution rights to both films in the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand, with the additional territory of Canada for Definition Please. Both films will debut January 21 on Netflix.
In August, FX on Hulu released the series “Reservation Dogs,” the acclaimed dark comedy about four Native American teenagers in rural Oklahoma that Harjo created with Taika Waititi.
“Reservation Dogs” co-creator Sterlin Harjo is also an accomplished filmmaker in addition to running the cult favorite FX show about a quartet of Indigenous teenagers living in Oklahoma. His latest documentary is “Love and Fury,” a chronicle of a cadre of Native artists as they work to bolster Indigenous voices in a post-colonial world.
Array Releasing, the distribution arm of Ava DuVernay’s Array collective, has picked up North America, UK and Ireland rights on the feature Cousins, helmed by Māori filmmaking duo Ainsley Gardiner and Briar Grace-Smith.
