FilmRise secured up the worldwide distribution rights to A Christmas Karen.
Directed by Jon Binkowski and Lisa Enos Smith, the holiday-themed comedy follows an entitled middle-aged woman named Karen who receives an “intervention” by unconventional spirits. She is then taken on a journey of self-awareness and self-reflection. The cast features up-and-comers Michele Simms, Meghan Colleen Moroney, Ashley Jones, and Rolin Alexis, among others.
FilmRise acquired worldwide distribution rights to A Christmas Karen for all media. The company will release the film in select theaters and TVoD and EST platforms in November across North America.
Max Einhorn, SVP of Acquisitions & Co-Productions for FilmRise, commented, “We look forward to sharing this clever, comedic twist on Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol with streaming audiences everywhere. This film represents the type of lighthearted, feel good, funny entertainment we are looking for as we approach the holiday season.”
Light and funny for who exactly? Karen boomed in 2020, so firstly, you’re really late to the party. Secondly, it’s really old, tiring and a form of bullying. If you really think it’s fun and harmless, start using the name Karen when ordering food etc out and about. Change your name on social media and try to have an opinion, even a positive one, and see what it’s like. Walk in our shoes. Absolutely cruel.
