IFC Midnight snags hit SXSW thriller What Keeps You Alive

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Colin Minihan's thriller WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE starring Hannah Emily Anderson (JIGSAW) and Brittany Allen (JIGSAW again) had its world premiere last month in the Midnighters section at SXSW and I have heard nothing but extremely postive word of mouth surrounding the film ever since.

I guess you could say that it's fitting then that today we have word via Deadline that the film has been picked up by none other than IFC Midnight. Writer-director Colin Minihan was understandably excited about the acquisition and said this in a statement.

Colin Minihan:

I’m very excited to be working with IFC Midnight on releasing What Keeps You Alive. They are at the top of their game and consistently releasing the best the genre has to offer.

There isn't a release date set for the film yet but you can be sure that I will be checking it out as soon as it hits. What about you? Make sure to hit us up and let us know in the comments below or on social media!

Synopsis:

A same-sex couple against one another on their one-year anniversary. 

The film is written and directed by Colin Minihan and based on a story by  Minihan and Brittany Allen, who also composed the film’s score. Minihan also produces with Kurtis David Harder, Chris Ball, and Ben Knechtel. The film stars Emily Anderson, Brittany Allen, Martha MacIsaac and Joey Klein.
