Well, this is exciting news to come out of Sundance - Focus Features has reportedly acquired worldwide rights for Dee Rees’ Pariah, the story of a teenage lesbian whose family struggle to accept her sexuality, and bought her next project for a seven-figure sum. The film has won rave reviews for the performances of its cast and is Focus Features’ first acquisition of the festival.
As you may remember, Focus Features acquired last year’s Sundance hit The Kids Are All Right, which this week earned four Oscar nominations.
