Film distribution company Dogwoof has purchased the rights for international screenings of “André Is an Idiot,” a debut film directed by Tony Benna. This movie made its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it received both the Audience Award and the Jonathan Oppenheim Editing Award in the U.S. Documentary Competition.
Dogwoof is set to unveil the movie to potential buyers during the Cannes Film Festival, and it’s scheduled for a market screening on May 15th. Submarine Entertainment will manage the North American distribution rights.
As I, a self-proclaimed brilliant fool, find myself facing an untimely death due to a condition that could have been identified through a colonoscopy, I choose to chronicle my impending voyage. Known for bucking trends as an unorthodox advertising guru, I’m committed to maintaining my unique blend of humor and inquisitiveness even in the face of mortality. I aim not only to die happily but also with a touch of the absurdity that has defined my life.
In an extraordinary partnership with Benna, André’s tales and thoughts are creatively translated into captivating stop-motion animations, mirroring his one-of-a-kind perspective on life’s trials and triumphs. This film serves as a tribute to resilience, offbeat humor, and the elegance of wholeheartedly experiencing humanity – from its most challenging moments to its final chapter.
“André Is an Idiot” is produced by A24 Films, Sandbox Films and Safehouse Pictures.
This film represents Dogwoof’s second partnership with A24 Films, having previously worked together on the Sundance film “Look Into My Eyes” in 2024. Additionally, it is their fifth project with Sandbox Films, following collaborations on Werner Herzog’s “Fireball,” David France’s “How to Survive a Pandemic,” the Oscar-nominated “Fire of Love,” and the Sundance award-winning “Nocturnes.
Cleo Veger, Dogwoof’s head of sales, expressed her enthusiasm about collaborating with A24 and Sandbox Films on the unique, unexpectedly funny, yet poignantly heartbreaking documentary titled ‘André Is an Idiot.’ She described it as one of the most striking and unforgettable documentaries they’ve encountered. Viewers are likely to develop a deep affection for André and his inspiring perspective on life and death.
The individuals responsible for production are André Ricciardi, Tory Tunnell, Joshua Altman, Stelio Kitrilakis, and Ben Cotner. This project is also overseen by executive producers Jessica Harrop, Nicole Stott, Emily Osborne, Marissa Torres Ericson, Joby Harold, Lee Einhorn, and Greg Boustead.
