Sundance Hit ‘Omaha’ Nabbed by Cercamon for International Sales, Heads to Cannes Market (EXCLUSIVE)
Cercamon has snagged worldwide sales rights to family drama 'Omaha' following its acclaimed world premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Greenwich Entertainment previously secured North American distribution rights in a deal with UTA Independent Film Group, with a theatrical release planned for later this year. Co-written by Webley and Robert Machoian (“The Killing of Two Lovers”), “Omaha” follows a struggling widower (John Magaro, “Past Lives”) who takes his children on an unexpected cross-country road trip after a family tragedy. “Intimate in its scope, yet emotionally monumental, this debut feature by director Cole Webley, working from a screenplay by filmmaker Robert Machoian — whose “The Killing of Two Lovers” observes another father from middle America in crisis — resonates for how spontaneously the interactions seem to unfold, as if sparked by reality in front of the camera,” said the Variety review.
