Vertical Acquires North America, UK & Ireland Rights For The Robert Sisters’ ‘A New York Story’; Unveils Trailer


Romantic drama is the second film from siblings Sophia and Fiona Robert, who work under the banner of The Robert Sisters.

EXCLUSIVE: Vertical has acquired North American and UK & Ireland rights for A New York Story, about a New Yorker torn between the gilded cage of her wealthy uptown life and the bohemian downtown world of a new love interest from outside her social circle. Further cast include Richard Ellis ( I Am Not Okay With This), Noelle Miller ( Spare Me), Francesca Root-Dodson ( Succession), Dan Thompson ( Three Women), Elaine Hendrix ( Dynasty) and Carolyn Farina ( The Age of Innocence). “From their use of a wide range of New York locations to their meticulous casting of the talented ensemble, Fiona and Sophia have made a love letter to the city as well as a universal statement about the paths to happiness that can only be found beyond our comfort zones,” said Vertical’s SVP of Acquisitions Tony Piantedosi.
