"disFIGURED" bought by Cinema Libre


Cinema Libre has acquired worldwide rights to Glenn Gers' "disFIGURED," which is screening at the AFI Dallas fest this week.  The film is about an overweight woman who befriends an recovering-anorexic real estate agent through a Fat Acceptance Group.

“With Cinema Libre, we hope to work with groups that support awareness of size diversity issues and would like to set up special screenings of the film across the country this summer,” said Gers, who is the screenwriter behind the Diane Keaton-starrer "Mad Money," and the thriller "Fracture" starring Anthony Hopkins.
