Keep up with the wild and wooly world of indie film acquisitions with our weekly Rundown of everything that’s been picked up around the globe. Check out last week’s Rundown here.
– Focus Features has acquired the North American and select international rights to Jason Reitman’s “Tully.” Written by Diablo Cody, the comedy stars Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis, Mark Duplass and Ron Livingston.
“Tully” tells the story of Marlo (Theron), a mother of three who is gifted a night nanny by her brother (Duplass). Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully (Davis).

In the mid-90s, conservatives and parents' groups grew alarmed at what they perceived to be the cultural threat posed by supposed shock rock acts like Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails. Both pushed sexual and violent lyrics and imagery into the mainstream, finding sympathy in the ears of your ordinary, everyday, disaffected teenager. While editorial pieces and op-eds tried to figure out what responsibility artists had to younger listeners, in Temecula, California, another band was pushing things to extremes that Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails could never conjure in their worst nightmare.

Their shows became notorious for their violence, and Borsheim’s own dedication to extreme behavior, which often included genital mutilation,...

There is much within Jai Love's Dead Hands Dig Deep (which premiered at Slamdance 2016 tonight) that is meant to shock us --- from footage of genitals and other body parts being pierced with screws and bolts, to a flap of skin being cut with a steak knife, to a possible mummified dog being violated onstage. Blood is spilled in all manner of ways, and we are supposed to cringe. As a horror fan, reviewer, and filmmaker, I can't quite figure out if I'm completely desensitized to these types of images, or if I just don't care much about the film's subject, ex-Kettle Cadaver singer Edwin Borsheim. As the film progresses, we learn about the singer's upbringing in a Californian town that's a heroin hotbed and a home...

As per usual, anyone headed to Slamdance 2016 film festival will have a dizzying array of truly independent features and shorts from which to choose. This includes documentaries on odd subjects, such as Dead Hands Dig Deep, which explores the destructive personality of Edwin Borsheim, the lead singer of the defunct band Kettle Cadaver. The trailer gives a compelling look into an isolated human being who once attempted to find solace in shock rock, and now lives out his days alone. There are hints at several charges leveled again Borsheim, as well as a crying mom.Equally interesting is that this documentary comes from a 19-year-old first-time filmmaker, Jai Love. Dead Hands Dig Deep makes its world premiere at Slamdance on Friday, January 22 at 7pm, with an encore...

Slamdance Exclusive: Trailer For Doc 'Dead Hands Dig Deep' Explores The Edge Of Heavy Metal Extremes
The band's name says it all: Kettle Cadaver. One could easily surmise that any group with such a moniker is going to be an acquired taste, and indeed, the Californian metal act isn't for everyone. But the upcoming documentary "Dead Hands Dig Deep," which tells the story of founder Edwin Borsheim should interest any music fan. Read More: Review: 'Last Days Here,' An Unsettling, Compelling Look At An Aging Rocker's Final Shot At Stardom Directed by 19 year-old Australian filmmaker Jai Love and slated to premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival, the movie chronicles Borsheim's extreme performance approach, his downward spiral mentally and physically, and his possible path to redemption. Here's the official synopsis: Thirty-eight year old Edwin Borsheim of the band Kettle Cadaver was once known for his bizarre stage antics and brutal self-mutilation. Now, years after the bands demise, Borsheim has fallen in to complete seclusion on his acre of.
