In a competitive bidding situation, Tom Quinn and Tim League's new distribution banner, Neon, have acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Sundance breakout, Ingrid Goes West, following the world premiere on Friday night. 

Directed by Matt Spicer and starring Aubrey Plaza (Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, "Parks and Recreation") and Elizabeth Olsen (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Martha Marcy May Marlene). Based on a script by Spicer and David Branson Smith, the dark comedy also stars O'Shea Jackson Jr., Wyatt Russell, Billy Magnussen, and Pom Klementieff. 

Star Thrower Entertainment and 141 Entertainment financed and produced.

Producers include: Jared Ian Goldman, Star Thrower Entertainment's Tim and Trevor White, 141 Entertainment's Adam and Robert Mirels, and Aubrey Plaza.  Mary Solomon, Rick Rickertsen and Allan Mandelbaum executive produced. CAA represented the US rights and negotiated the deal.

Ingrid Goes West follows Ingrid Thorburn (Plaza) a mentally unstable young woman who becomes obsessed with Taylor Sloane (Olsen), a social media "influencer" with a seemingly-perfect life. When Ingrid decides to drop everything, and move to the West Coast to befriend Taylor in real life, her behavior turns unsettling and increasingly dangerous.

Ingrid Goes West marks Spicer's feature directorial debut. He recently co-wrote Flower, along with Max Winkler who will also direct. The film is a twisted coming-of-age comedy starring Zoey Deutch, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn and Tim Heidecker, which Spicer will also produce alongside Rough House Pictures and Diablo Entertainment. Along with Winkler, Spicer will write the recently announced Rocketeer sequel for Disney.
