Perkins to see a Bran Nue Dae in US
Rachel Perkins’ musical Bran Nue Dae will be released in the US in September by Freestyle Releasing.
“Based on Bran Nue Dae‘s strong box-office showing in the Australian marketplace, its uniquely charming subject matter and engaging musical score, we believe that it will find an enthusiastic audience in the US marketplace,” said executive producer and Omnilab Media CEO Christopher Mapp.
Working with the experienced Freestyle Releasing team, we are hoping it could, in fact, achieve that rare honor of becoming a small, independent, breakout box-office hit,” he added.
According to indiewire, the distributor is planning a limited release followed by a national rollout, and Cinemarket’s Peter D. Graves, and Steven Raphael’s Required Viewing will work on the release strategy. Bankside Films is the international sales agent.
