This past September, the film was chosen to open the Toronto International Film Festival’s Canada First! Program where it received great buzz from the critics and public alike. Daydream Nation marks the full-length directorial debut of Michael Goldbach and features the stunning lead performance by Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Thor).

The announcement was made official at the annual AFM, jointly by Joker Films Tim Brown and Anchor Bay Entertainment President Bill Clark. Daydream Nation will be released theatrically in 2011.

“I could not be happier working again with Kevin Kasha and his team at Anchor Bay,” said a beaming Brown. “They put a ton of passion into all their films and we are lucky and grateful to have them as our partner for Daydream Nation.”

“Daydream Nation is a great addition to the 2011 Anchor Bay slate,” said Clark. “Our team has the ability to really target the audience that will love this film.”

“We loved Daydream Nation when we first saw it at Toronto,” added Kevin Kasha, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Acquisitions and Co-Productions for Anchor Bay Films. “And we’re glad that Tim is back with the Anchor Bay family again.”
