X sells to Germany, UK and Canada
Jon Hewitt’s erotic thriller X has been acquired by Senator (Germany), Revolver (UK) and Mongrel (Canada) for distribution in their territories.
Sales agent Celluloid Nightmares pre-sold these territories at the American Film Market, and expects to make further announcements soon.
Produced by Lizzette Atkins, X stars Viva Bianca and Hanna Mangan-Lawrence as a high class escort and a teenage runaway respectively, who are thrown together on a job that goes horribly wrong. They find themselves on an out-of-control roller-coaster ride through the seedy clubs, strip joints and back alleys of the red-light district. If they can get through the night, they might just have a chance at a fresh start.
The November 2010 issue of Encore includes a set visit for this film, and interviews with Hewitt and Atkins.
X was shot in Sydney, with finance from Screen Australia, Film Victoria and private investment, and will be released next year.
