The Circuit

At the Opera House, Telluride toppers Gary Meyer, Tom Luddy and Julie Huntsinger picked through the program for a crowd of sponsors and patrons. 

"Flame and Citron," just nabbed by IFC, was a title Luddy found by going through the box office reports of other countries.  The high grosser from Denmark caught their eye.

"It could be the next 'Lives of Others,'" predicted Luddy.


Another film at the top of lists here is "Kisses."  At the Patron Brunch, director Lance Daly (pictured right of producer Macdara Kelleher) said there's interest from IFC and Magnolia.  He's hoping the Telluride buzz will sweep into their Toronto fest screenings in two weeks, where their sales team -- including CAA and Focus International -- is concentrating efforts.  Daly didn't rule out Focus taking the US right, too.  In fact, many distribs are waiting to see how it does at Toronto, where the pic will be subtitled.
