Demange’s feature directorial debut is based on a screenplay by Gregory Burke. Robin Gutch of Warp Films and Angus Lamont of Crab Apple produced.

Protagonist Pictures handled international sales and brokered the deal with Roadside Attractions and CAA on behalf of Black Label.

The deal marks the first acquisition for distribution by Molly Smith’s Black Label Media.
