Legion M has joined forces with Bleecker Street for the release of the alien sci-fi comedy Save Yourselves! starring Sunita Mani (Mr. Robot, GLOW) and John Reynolds (Search Party, Horse Girl), and from writer-directors Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer. The film was produced by Kara Durrett, Keshet’s Mandy Tagger and Adi Ezroni.

In Save Yourselves! Jack (John Reynolds) and Su (Sunita Mani) are a hip Brooklyn couple who, like many of their friends, find themselves dependent on technology and unable to put down their phones. Fearing their mindless scrolling may impact their connection with each other, they seize the chance to head to an isolated cabin in the woods, vowing to unplug from the outside world for a week. Sheltered from texts and push notifications, they are blissfully unaware that the planet is under attack. As strange events unfold, the couple must figure out a way back to civilization—or what’s left of it.

Legion M’s decision to align on Save Yourselves! with Bleecker Street was fueled by the company’s innovative Legion M Film Scout app, which launched at 2020’s Sundance Film Festival as a fun-to-play, interactive game that doubles as a valuable data-gathering tool for the company. Harnessing the wisdom of the crowd, Legion M captured proprietary audience insight from its members attending the festival as Film Scouts, as well as from thousands of film fans participating worldwide. The real-life consumer data scored Save Yourselves! high in terms Film Scout reviews at Sundance, confidence in the film’s success and its projected popularity among audiences.

“Data gathered from Film Scout was clear and evident, guiding our choice to lock arms with Bleecker Street on Save Yourselves!,” said Paul Scanlan, CEO and cofounder of Legion M. “We’re fired up to partner on this worthy and hilarious surprise hit from Sundance and believe it is a perfect film to celebrate the reopening of theaters when they safely can later this summer.”

“Legion M has quickly made a name for itself in the industry for its innovation and remarkable ability to mobilize their passionate community,” said Andrew Karpen, CEO of Bleecker Street. “We’re thrilled to be kicking off a close relationship with the Legion on Save Yourselves!”

Making good on our promise to open the gates to Hollywood for its more than 130,000 members, including over 25,000 investors, Legion M is proving once again that having fun can be good business. Legion M and its fan community will host fan-meetups when Save Yourselves! debuts at theaters, demonstrating the power of the company’s grassroots mobilization efforts and its commitment to investing in its projects both financially and emotionally.
