40 ACRES & A MULE FILMWORKS

W/VARIANCE FILMS

ANNOUNCES AUGUST RELEASE OF SPIKE LEE'S 'RED HOOK SUMMER'

40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks announced yesterday that the company will undertake its first independent distribution effort with founder Spike Lee's Brooklyn coming-of-age story, RED HOOK SUMMER. 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks will partner with New York-based Variance Films for the theatrical release, which will begin August 10th, 2012 in New York City theaters, expanding to the top 30 markets throughout the month of August.

"From my very first joint back in 1986, SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT, I have been an independent filmmaker, and even today I still am," said Spike Lee. "I'm elated to join forces with Variance Films for the independent distribution of my new joint RED HOOK SUMMER. We look forward to getting this film into the marketplace, where we believe 100 percent that there is a starving audience for American independent films like RED HOOK SUMMER."

"Variance's sole mission is to ensure filmmakers retain their rights and their power," said Dylan Marchetti, founder of Variance Films, "and I can't think of a filmmaker that would make better use of both than Spike Lee. Spike is truly one of the godfathers of independent filmmaking, and RED HOOK SUMMER is an entertaining, yet thoughtful, film that says something we think needs to be said. We couldn't be more excited to work with Spike and his team to ensure that audiences across the country will be experiencing this fantastic film with their friends and family."
