IFC Entertainment has picked up the North American rights to Madonna’s directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom.
Variety reports the film was written by Madonna with Dan Cadan. The multi-talented singer also served as a co-producer on the film with Nicola Doring.
The film is a comedic drama and was planned as a short. IFC will release the film in the fall with a theatrical run timed with video-on-demand availability.
The film tracks multiple characters – including a man who spanks for money, a chemist and a pole dancer.
Madonna had considered a straight to iTunes release for the film, but changed her mind in favor of a partnership with IFC – who felt the film deserved a larger release platform.
