Electric Entertainment acquires distribution rights to O Horizon
April 29, 2026
Electric Entertainment, the LA-based production and distribution company, has acquired the exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the feature film O Horizon. It stars Academy Award-nominees Maria Bakalova and David Strathairn, alongside co-stars Adam Pally, Maggie Grace, Avi Nash and Paulina Porizkova.
The film will receive a platform release by Variance in US cinemas starting June 12th in New York, and Electric will begin selling international rights at Cannes and distribute to US ancillary and international markets beginning in late summer.
The movie had its global premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival where it won the Jury Prize for Best Picture.
O Horizon tells the story of a young neuroscientist (Bakalova) navigating an exhilarating new romance and a groundbreaking career discovery amidst the recent loss of her father (Strathairn). When an emerging technology suddenly allows her to speak with him again, it turns her life upside down. Emmy Award-winning director Madeleine Rotzler crafts a magical realist fable for our modern era that considers our relationships amid rapidly evolving technologies with warmth and humor.
Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment, commented: “The film is incredibly relatable and superbly performed, with the perfect amount of comic relief to balance out it’s dramatic power. We know that our audience will appreciate this film and what it says about moving forward – with the future of technology and with life after loss.”
The deal was negotiated by Ben Kim, Head of Development & Acquisitions, and Addie Booth, Manager of Acquisitions, at Electric Entertainment and Robert Benun and Mark Gill on behalf of the film.
