Sundance: Ira Sachs Drama ‘Peter Hujar’s Day’ Sells to Sideshow, Janus Films


"Peter Hujar's Day," a drama that premiered at Sundance Film Festival, has found a buyer.

Written and directed by Ira Sachs, “Peter Hujar’s Day” is set over a 24-hour period in December 1974 and centers on one conversation between photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) and his close friend, writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall), who recorded their talk for an art project. “Peter Hujar’s Day” was produced by Jordan Drake and Jonah Disend and co-produced by Fred Burle and Aaron Craig. With its deceptively minimal premise, Ira Sachs has crafted a deeply profound, major work,” Sideshow and Janus Films said in a statement.
