Sundance: "Frozen River" to SPC
Sony Pictures Classics has picked up US rights to the Sundance dramatic competition entry "Frozen River," for a low to mid-six figures.
Written and directed by first-time director Courtney Hunt, the story involves a woman caught up in poverty and human smuggling in rural upstate New York.
The film was repped by William Morris Independent.
Variety's Robert Koehler said:
Full review here.No trendsetter or breakthrough, this is more than anything else a welcome chance for the fine actor Melissa Leo to finally dominate a film in a terrific and affecting lead role.
