Anthony Kaufman brings news that THINKFilm has given up distribution rights on Azazel Jacobs’ Momma’s Man to Kino International. THINK announced their acquisition of the film in early March, about six weeks after the film was unveiled at Sundance.  Just last week, THINK’s Mark Urman told Kaufmann that they planned on going through with the release of both Momma’s and Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, saying that if the company “didn’t think we could get what they deserve, I wouldn’t be proceeding with them. These films are not cash-intensive films. These films will get everything they need.” No word yet on whether or not the troubled company still thinks they can give Marina Zenovich’s doc what it deserves.

    Well if THINKFilm is going down at least they aren’t taking Azazel Jacobs’ film down with them. This shows much more consideration for Hamish McAlpine and Tartan, who went on an acquisition spree just prior to going down the tubes. You have to figure they knew full well they were in trouble when they bought “Silent Light,” “You the Living,” “Import Export” “Taxidermia” and “Ex Drummer,” films that will most likely never hit actual movie screens in the US now. Instead they’ll inevitably go straight to video in some sort of tax write-off fire sale, all because Tartan couldn’t publicly face up to its money woes, as THINKFilm has.
