Experimental Drama which debuted at Locarno & Slamdance sets digital debut for North American VOD platforms and DVD
Los Angeles, CA – March 12, 2024 Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired North American VOD rights to the experimental dramatic feature film A PERFECT DAY FOR CARIBOU by debutant Jeff Rutherford, which will be available to rent/own on all digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms worldwide, as well as on DVD, starting on April 2, 2024, through Freestyle Digital Media.
A Perfect Day For Caribou will screen in New York City at Roxy Cinema on Friday, March 22 at 7pm and Friday, March 29 at 9pm. There will be a Q&A with filmmaker Jeff Rutherford after both screenings, with filmmaker/comedian Matt Barats moderating on March 22nd and actor Jefferson White moderating on March 29th.
A Perfect Day For Caribou tells the story of one extraordinary day in the life of Herman, Nate, and Ralph. Herman is an alcoholic with a depleted appetite for life. Nate is his estranged son and an anxious young father himself – reckoning with his past so he might move further into the future. And Ralph is an unusual, misunderstood child off in his own world. In this “spare, sober miracle of score, silence and speech” (The Film Verdict), three men spend the day ambling around a cemetery, wandering the wilderness, searching for family, and stumbling through disharmony and heartache.

Written and directed by Jeff Rutherford, A PERFECT DAY FOR CARIBOU was produced by Rutherford, Kyra Bailey, and Joseph Longo, and stars Charlie Plummer (‘Nate’), Jeb Berrier (‘Herman’), and Oellis Levine (‘Ralph’).
“I grew up watching horror movies with my mom and dreamed I might one day make some sort of movie,” said filmmaker Jeff Rutherford. “I am very glad to have been able to make one, and I’m glad many times over that audiences beyond the world of film festivals can now find A PERFECT DAY FOR CARIBOU, and I hope viewers will find something meaningful in it.”
