“Michael Walker has made a thoughtful and impressive film featuring a return to the screen by Parker Posey that is a gift to her fans and one of her most hilarious, nuanced performances,” said Sundance Selects/IFC Films president Jonathan Sehring. “We’re also happy to be working with our long time friend Dolly Hall.”
Sundance Selects/IFC Films exec Arianna Bocco negotiated the deal with Josh Braun of Submarine Entertainment on behalf of the filmmakers.
A sister label of IFC Midnight and Sundance Selects, IFC Films recently picked up a handful of films at the Toronto International Film Festival, including “Byzantium,” “Frances Ha,” “Inescapable” and “The Reluctant Fundamentalist.” The company will release “On the Road” in December.
