‘Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other,’ About Photographer Joel Meyerowitz, Artist, Author Maggie Barrett, Nabbed by Cinetic (EXCLUSIVE)
U.S.-based Cinetic Media has picked up world rights to the CPH:DOX competition entry ‘Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other.’
U.S. content management, financing and sales banner Cinetic Media has secured world rights to the life affirming doc “Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other,” about legendary photographer Joel Meyerowitz and his wife, artist and author Maggie Barrett. Aesthetically, his intention with Ouimet was to “derive as much as possible from the protagonists’ own talents, using for instance Maggie’s piano compositions as inspirations for the score, or Joel’s photos and own quote ‘two strangers trying not to kill each other’ for the title.” To get fresh eyes on the near-final film, the production partners held test screenings that were “conversation starters,” according to Byrge Sørensen, and gave an indication of the pic’s cross-generational appeal.
