Norwegian Horror ‘You’ve Been Chosen’ Boarded for World Sales by Blue Finch Films Ahead of Cannes Frontières (EXCLUSIVE)

Frontières is a leading genre-focused co-production and pitch market, running annually alongside the Cannes Film Market.

Written and directed by Viljar Bøe, the film follows Fredrik, a man whose life is upended when he begins receiving anonymous letters with instructions that reward obedience and punish resistance. Drawn deeper into an increasingly brutal system, he is forced to confront the limits of his own free will and the true cost of belonging. The project is rooted in themes of loneliness, psychological control and the seductive pull of structure in an isolated life.

The deal marks the third partnership between Blue Finch and Bøe, following “Good Boy” and “Above the Knee,” both of which earned critical recognition across their festival and release runs.

Bøe is producing alongside Anders Fløysand and Arne Dahr under production company Sleazemania!. Evrim Ersoy, Mike Chapman and Fatima Hayward serve as executive producers.

“Having become fast fans of Viljar’s work, we are thrilled for this to be our third collaboration. ‘You’ve Been Chosen’ is a shockingly violent, thrill filled joyride,” said Mike Chapman, Blue Finch Films co-founder.

“You’ve Been Chosen” joins a Blue Finch sales slate that also includes Rotterdam title “Bowels of Hell” from Oscar-winning production company RT Features, SXSW selection “Imposters,” and horror title “Dolly,” which opened theatrically through IFC last month.
