O-scope gets "Dear Zachary"


Oscilloscope has grabbed North American rights to Kurt Kuenne's award winning docu "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about his Father."  The doc about a murder and a cross-border custody battle first preemed at Slamdance.

O-scope will release the pic in partnership with MSNBC Films, the channel's new banner for TV and theatrical runs for docs.

O-scope topper Adam Yauch said, "I was blown away by the intense, fast-paced editing, and the way Kurt uses this to convey raw emotion."

Deal was finalized between Submarine's Josh Braun and O-scope's David Fenkel.
