Andrew Herwitz’s The Film Sales Company (FSC) has licensed key territories on Amy Redford’s Roost which has drawn sustained buyer interest following the TIFF world premiere earlier this month.
Front Row has acquired rights for the Middle East, while Ascot Elite has picked up the film for Germany and German-speaking Europe, and California Filmes will distribute in Latin America.
Herwitz expects to announce further international sales shortly as buyers continue to circle Roost and a US sale is understood to be nearing completion.
Grace Van Dien, who plays Chrissy in Season 4 of Stranger Things, stars in the tale of a teenager who meets a man online who pretends to be younger than he is. Scott Organ wrote the screenplay.
Van Dien is the great-granddaughter of Robert Mitchum and stars alongside Summer Phoenix, sister to Joaquin Phoenix.
Redford, making her directorial follow-up to 2008’s The Guitar, produced with Eden Wurmfeld and Lynda Weinman.
FSC president Herwitz brokered the deals.
