Sundance: "Teen" finally sells

Anne Thompson reports that Nanette Burstein's doc "American Teen" has finally found a home, for a third less than the wild rumors had it:
The long-in-the-works American Teen deal went down late Tuesday night, marking the fourth movie to sell in 24 hours. Paramount Vantage acquired all world rights (excluding the U.K.) for $1 million to Nanette Burstein's Indiana high school cinema verite doc.
And the number of suitors that dropped in and out sounds like a tragic lead-up to the prom.  While not the best looking date, at least Vantage has promised a limo.

I just saw the American Teen trailer it looks great. Appears to be funny, serious, and filled with life. I cant wait to see it.
