Dealer, the debut feature from Belgian actor Jeroen Perceval, which won 10 prizes at this year’s De Ensors Belgian film awards, has sealed some key distribution deals for Austrian sales outfit Fizz-e-Motion.
The film has sold to central Europe (HBO) and Latin America (Encripta), plus a VOD deal for Taiwan (Sky Digi Entertainment).
Having been nominated in 14 categories, Dealer picked up 10 prizes at De Ensors on Saturday, March 12. Categories it won included best film, best director, best supporting actor and the public award.
Dealer follows a 14-year-old drug dealer in a young person’s care home, who asks one of his customers – a famous actor – to become his weekend guardian.
The film debuted at Fantastic Fest in the US in September 2021, going on to play Gent Film Festival and Tallinn Black Nights.
As an actor, Perceval is known for roles in Alex van Warmerdam’s Cannes 2013 title Borgman and Robin Pront’s 2015 Toronto selection The Ardennes.
