Exclusive: Shant Joshi’s Fae Pictures will hit Toronto with three pics on its slate.

The company, which frames its focus as ‘decolonizing Hollywood’ and has previously released arthouse flicks Framing Agnes and In Flames — has picked up anti-capitalist horror spec Good Fast Cheap and action-comedy pic Toughen Up and become the lead producer on Maya Bastian’s Tamil-language pic The Devil’s Tears.

Good Cheap Fast comes from newcomer Evan Tognotti and will star I Like Movies actor Isaiah Lehtinen in the lead role.
