‘Sequin in a Blue Room’ (Photo credit: Nicholas Gascoine).
Writer-director Samuel Van Grinsven’s Sequin in a Blue Room is set to premiere in major overseas markets, a big achievement for the film he made as his graduate project in the Master of Arts Screen program at the Australian Film Television and Radio School (Aftrs) in 2018.
The US and UK rights to the queer coming-of-age tale produced by Aftrs graduate Sophie Hattch have been acquired by Peccadillo Pictures, a UK-based distributor of art house, gay and lesbian, independent and world cinema.
On-demand firm Salzgeber bought the film for German-speaking markets while Optimale has the rights in French-speaking territories.
Last year it won the best narrative feature in the Sydney Film Festival audience awards and it screened at Miff and the Mardi Gras Film Festival,
Starring Conor Leach in his film debut, Simon Croker, Jeremy Lindsay Taylor and Anthony Brandon Wong,...
