Directors Celyn Jones and Tom Stern said, “To have IFC Films as a partner is a stamp of quality for us as their cinematic taste and care is impeccable.

The deal for the film was negotiated by IFC Acquisitions Manager Adam Koehler, with WME Independent and Bankside Films on behalf of the filmmakers.
