High Point Media Group has picked up world rights for "The Sea Change," the feature adaptation of Jane Rogers novel "Island."
Brek Taylor and Elizabeth Mitchell, who also wrote the screenplay, co-helm the dark psychodrama about a young woman who's abandoned at birth and grows up in foster homes. Turning 30, she decides to find her mother, confront her about why she was abandoned and exact her revenge.
Mitchell is also co-producing along with Charlotte Wontner of Hopscotch Films ("The Sick House"). Cinematographer Rain Li ("Paranoid Park") has boarded the project as d.p. Lensing will begin in March and is expected to be ready by the summer.
Anne-Marie Duff ("Garage") stars as the young woman with Tom Burke ("Donkey Punch") also joining the cast.
"It is so exciting and refreshing to see this film put together by an almost entirely female team of talent, including both directors," said High Point's Carey Fitzgerald.
