‘Rebuilding’

EXCLUSIVE: Picturehouse Entertainment has acquired UK-Ireland rights to Max Walker-Silverman’s Rebuilding starring Josh O’Connor, Lily Latorre, Maghann Fahy, Kali Reis and Amy Madigan.

The Sundance 2025 premiere follows a cowboy living in emergency accommodation after losing his ranch to wildfires, who reconciles with his ex-wife and estranged daughter.

Picturehouse will announce a release date in due course; mk2 handles international sales.

The film is produced by Jesse Hope, Dan Janvey and Paul Mezey. Executive Producers are Jan McAdoo, Jack McAdoo, Robina Riccitiello, Josh Peters, Sakurako Fisher, Douglas Choi, Alex C. Lo, Philipp Engelhorn, Bill Way, Elliott Whitton, Andrew Goldman and O’Connor.

“We really enjoyed working with Max when we played his fantastic debut A Love Song at Sundance London; we also loved working with Josh O’Connor on Picturehouse’s release of God’s Own Country,” said Picturehouse Entertainment managing director Clare Binns, “so this campaign promises to be a true highlight of our upcoming slate.”

O’Connor is pulling double duty in Cannes Competition this year, leading Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind and Oliver Hermanus’s The History of Sound opposite Paul Mescal.

Picturehouse has Harry Lighton’s feature debut Pillion in Un Certain Regard; Sylvain Chomet’s animation A Magnificent Life as a Special Screening; and Eva Victor’s Sorry, Baby as the closing film of Directors’ Fortnight.
