Roadside Attractions has acquired all US rights to Alysa Nahmias’s Sundance coming-of-age film Cookie Queens ahead of its Texas premiere at SXSW on Friday (March 13).
The comedy documentary follows four tenacious Girl Scouts as they navigate the annual US ritual of Girl Scout Cookie season and vie to become the top-selling ‘Cookie Queen’.
Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw of Beautiful Stories served as producers alongside Nahmias for Ajna Films, and Jennifer Sims.
The Beautiful Stories & Ajna Films Production was made in association with Archewell Productions, Artemis Rising Foundation, and Good Gravy Films.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are among the executive producers. “As a former Girl Scout myself, with my mom as my troop leader, I have a personal affinity for this film and am proud that Archewell Productions has partnered with this award-winning team to executive produce this incredibly captivating film,” the Duchess of Sussex said, adding that the film was “absolutely irresistible.”
Roadside Attractions plans an exclusive theatrical release this summer after negotiating the deal with Submarine and WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers.
