Cinedigm has snapped up all North American and Latin American rights to Destin Daniel Cretton’s SXSW Grand Jury and Audience award winner “Short Term 12,” starring Brie Larson as a troubled foster care worker. The company is eyeing a late summer release, with an awards push for its star, who gives a “career-defining performance,” says Vincent Scordino, VP of Cinedigm theatrical acquisitions. “‘Short Term 12’ is exactly the kind of film we are looking to champion as we expand our theatrical presence.”
This is director Cretton’s second feature, following Sundance NEXT entry “I Am Not a Hipster” in 2012. TOH! interviewed him out of SXSW.
