Overview
- Follow Mode, announced Thursday, will be filmed entirely with consumer drones in a found‑footage style.
- UK sales company Protagonist Pictures will launch international sales at the Cannes film market, with Temple Hill and Verve Ventures co‑repping domestic rights.
- The story centers on teens who find a drone’s hands‑free “follow” footage of a serial killer, highlighting how tracking modes can turn hobby tech into a tool for stalking.
- Ben Leonberg directs from a script he wrote with Alex Cannon, with Temple Hill’s Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, John Fischer, Hal Sadoff, and Ben Levine producing and Protagonist’s Dave Bishop, James Pugh, and George Hamilton executive producing.
- The film extends Temple Hill and Protagonist’s ongoing horror partnership and follows Leonberg’s Good Boy, which earned $8.8 million worldwide after a SXSW debut.
