MARCEL HAS A HOME

News that I've been waiting for arrived this past week with the announcement that A24 had acquired North American distribution rights to Dean Fleischer-Camp's Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. The film debuted at Telluride and topped my industry insiders and professionals poll that I do each year.

No word as yet what the release plans will be and if their is any agreement about an Oscar qualifying run but I, for one, hope there is.

Here a slew of links for the acquisition details:
