Meet the 19-year-old director who just got an A24 deal
Independent film distributor A24 has just given a 19-year-old filmmaker the green light for his first studio feature. Kane Parsons will direct the sci-fi/horror concept The Backrooms for A24, with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve set to star. Variety described the upcoming film as "based on the world of Parsons' viral YouTube horror universe." So who is Parsons, you might ask? The young filmmaker describes himself on his YouTube page, Kane Pixels, as a "19 Trillion-Year-Old Director and VFX artist." He can now add A24 director to that biography. We'll see if Parsons is the next major talent to emerge from the A24 pipeline once his first feature is complete. Early returns seem quite promising with one of the most popular distributors in the world by his side.
