Production I.G’s strange and touching supernatural coming-of-age story A Letter to Momo will finally see a U.S. theatrical release, thanks to GKIDS. The film will initially open in New York City at the IFC Center, located at 323 Avenue of the Americas.

Directed by Hiroyuki Okiura (Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade), the 2D animated film centers on a girl named Momo who moves to a remote island with her mother. As she muses over an incomplete letter left by her father, which only reads “Dear Momo,” she notices strange occurrences and discovers a trio of mischievous spirit creatures living in her attic.
