**EXCLUSIVE: Quiver Distribution Acquires North American Rights to *Noseeums*, the Debut Feature from Director Raven DeShay Carter**
Quiver Distribution has secured the North American distribution rights to *Noseeums*, the feature debut of Austin-based director Raven DeShay Carter. The acquisition follows the film’s U.S. premiere at the Mill Valley Film Festival and its world premiere at FrightFest in London.
Shot entirely in Florida, *Noseeums* is a socially charged horror film that masterfully blends supernatural tension with a deeply rooted Southern Gothic atmosphere. The story centers on Ember, a Black college student who is invited to a rural estate for a weekend with her white classmates. There, she encounters spectral retribution connected to the historic loss of Black land ownership in the American South.
This film marks Carter’s first feature. She is a graduate of Florida State University’s College of Motion Picture Arts.
The deal was brokered by Michael Favelle of Odin’s Eye Entertainment (OEE) and Paul E. Cohen on behalf of Torchlight Studios, as well as Larry Greenberg of Quiver Distribution.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering once more with Quiver for *Noseeums*,” said Michael Favelle, CEO of Odin’s Eye Entertainment. “They’ve built a reputation for curating distinct, high-quality genre films, and Carter’s debut fits perfectly within that vision: bold, haunting, and deeply original.”
*Noseeums* is scheduled to screen at several upcoming festivals, including Atlanta HorrorFest, Santa Fe International Film Festival, and Ethereal HorrorFest in Austin, Texas.
“We’re incredibly proud to see *Noseeums* take this next step with Quiver,” said Reb Braddock, Executive Director of Torchlight Studios and Dean of FSU Film School. “Their reach and experience will ensure that Raven’s voice — and the story she’s telling — resonates across North America.”
