A24 & Cosmatos Will Make For A Wonderful Pairing

"Panos Cosmatos was born in Rome in the mid '70s to a Greek movie director father and a Swedish experimental artist mother, Cosmatos spent his early formative years toted all over the globe before settling in western Canada. In 1980, the family lived for a year in Mexico, where exposure to the strange, local interpretations of American pop culture had a profound and lasting effect on his creative life. Growing up in the isolated suburbs of Vancouver Island during the '80s, he obsessed over the minutiae of heavy metal, fantasy art, science fiction and horror films, which he still does to this day. After the death of his mother in the late '90s, he descended into a decade-long vortex of madness and self-destruction. After his father passed away he emerged having decided to make a movie, or die trying. Soon after, Beyond the Black Rainbow was born. His new film is its companion piece, Mandy, starring Nicolas Cage and Andrea Riseborough, which premiered to rave reviews at Sundance and Cannes. Panos is currently in post-production on an episode of Guillermo Del Toros' Cabinet of Curiosities for Netflix."
