SPC buys 'Baghead'

Comedy directed by Duplass brothers

By WINTER MILLER

In a deal negotiated very early this morning, the film “Baghead,” directed and produced by brothers Mark and Jay Duplass, sold North American rights for the mid to high six figures to Sony Pictures Classics.

The sales rep was Josh Braun of Submarine.

“Baghead” is a comedy about four actor-writers desperate to launch their careers, who spend a weekend brainstorming a script, a process derailed by their mutual attraction — or lack thereof.

The Duplass brothers’ pic “The Puffy Chair,” which screened at Sundance in 2005, was released by Red Envelope Entertainment and Roadside Attractions.
