Amsterdam- and Hong Kong-based distribution company Fortissimo Films has a knack for landing films with awesome titles. Two days ago it announced that pre-production was underway for a film called Ants On A Shrimp, and today Fortissimo announced that it has acquired the international rights for Closet Monster, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sales are set to begin at Cannes this week.

The feature-length debut of young Canadian filmmaker Stephen Dunn, Closet Monster stars Connor Jessup as Oscar Madly (another good name), a young man struggling with the internal turmoil of his sexuality and haunted by images of a turbulent, traumatic childhood. Isabella Rossellini co-stars as a talking hamster. (Yup.)

The 20-year-old Jessup has a starring role on the TNT television series Falling Skies, on which he plays a young man with glowing spikey things sticking out of his spine who can hear aliens talking on the radio. He also had the lead role in Jason Buxton’s Blackbird, a Canadian indie about a socially ostracized goth kid who gets falsely accused of plotting a school massacre.

Fortissimo has put out some really good, really weird stuff in the last couple of years. Underseen film appreciation time: Juno Mak’s sadly ignored ode to jiangshi Rigor Mortis came and went pretty fast last year. Flawed but super fun (especially for fans of Encounters Of The Spooky Kind and Mr. Vampire), this manic mess of a movie commingles Chinese vampire legends (their idea of a “vampire” is, in essence, an undead dude who hops around like a bunny and consumes people), martial arts, and modern Asian horror tropes. Given Fortissimo’s track record, Closet Monster should garner some attention, even with its first-time director general lack of star power. (Though Isabella Rossellini playing a talking hamster could make for some interesting advertisements.)
