Kelly is one of the most original and distinctive voices in American cinema today. An expansion on her previous work, NIGHT MOVES maintains that unique Kelly stamp that long ago made us huge fans, said Vincent Scordino, Senior Vice President of Theatrical Releasing, for Cinedigm.

We couldnt be happier to be working with Cinedigm, said the filmmakers. Their enthusiasm for the film was amazing, and were thrilled to be collaborating with them on its release.

Reichardts award-winning films include RIVER OF GRASS, OLD JOY, WENDY AND LUCY and the acclaimed Michelle Williams-starring Western MEEKS CUTOFF. NIGHT MOVES is her fifth feature film and tells the story of three radical environmentalists plotting the explosion of a hydroelectric dam the symbol of the energy-sucking, resource-devouring industrial culture they despise. The suspense-filled film adds a noir-thriller to Reichardts already impressive and diverse body of work.

The film is a production of Maybach Film Productions, RT Features and filmscience. It was produced by Neil Kopp, Anish Savjani, Chris Maybach, Saemi Kim and Rodrigo Teixeira. The deal was negotiated by Cinedigms Director of Acquisitions Emily Rothschild with UTA representing the filmmakers.
