193 develops and produces features and works with third-party producers and investors on projects at various production stages.
The company recently got into a legendary, completed remake. The Toxic Avenger From Macon Blair starring Peter Dinklege, Bacon, Elijah Wood and Julia Davis. The 1984 Cult Classic was screened by Cannes buyers and was released in North America on August 29th.
Wachsberger will continue to work on the Picture Perfect Federation project, looking for opportunities for Federation Studios and 193 to collaborate on selected international features and series.
