The two companies will split rights for The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, with Red Flag handling theatrical distribution while Fox Searchlight takes all other ancillary markets. Produced by Stephanie Langhoff, the film written and directed by Jay and Mark Duplass will have its world premiere at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival on Sunday. Pentathlon, which will open theatrically in June, centers on two grown brothers who rekindle their uber-competitive childhood sporting event during a weekend family reunion in order to finally determine the ultimate winner. Steve Zissis, Mark Kelly, and Jennifer Lafleur star. Josh Braun of Submarine negotiated the deal on behalf of the filmmakers with Paul Federbush for Red Flag, and EVP Worldwide Acquisitions Tony Safford on behalf of Fox Searchlight Pictures.

Did they shoot with a new camera on this film or are they sticking with the same camcorder they’ve used since 2005? Seeing the trailers for “John who lives at home,” the look is EXACTLY the same as The Puffy Chair, Humpday, Cyrus, Baghead, etc., with the muddy colors, soft focus and general low-res DV look.
I like your films, guys, but it’s time to get past the whole Dogme ’95 thing. I realize you can shoot these films for a buck o’ five so there’s no risk, but at some point don’t you want to progress as filmmakers?
That’s the look they like. Get over it and appreciate the fact that these are filmmakers who always deliver a good story rather than just trying to make something look pretty.
