Independent distributors Cinema Guild announced today that they have acquired the distribution rights for Dan Sallitt's Brooklyn-set coming of age drama The Unspeakable Act (2012), starring Tallie Medel, Sky Hirschkron and Aundrea Fares. The film will open theatrically in early 2013.
Jackie Kimball is a normal 17-year-old girl – except that she has been in love with her older brother Matthew her entire life. Living in an old Brooklyn house with their mother and another sister, the siblings have a symbiotic relationship, relying on each other for friendship and support. But when Matthew leaves for College, Jackie is suddenly forced to contend with life on her own.
Dan Sallitt was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and attended Harvard College and UCLA's school of Theater, Film and Television. He was the head film critic at the Los Angeles Reader, and writes film criticism for MUBI and his own blog Thanks for the Use of the Hall. His previous films are All the Ships at Sea (2004), Honeymoon (1998) and Polly Perverse Strikes Again! (1986). The deal was negotiated by Ryan Krivoshey of The Cinema Guild with Dan Sallitt.
Other upcoming theatrical releases from Cinema Guild include Jem Cohen's Museum Hours, Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel's Leviathan, Raul Ruiz's Night Across The Street and Ra'anan Alexandrowicz's The Law In These Parts.
Upcoming Blu-ray/DVD releases include Miguel Gomes' Our Beloved Month of August, Ben Rivers' Two Years at Sea and the box set Sokurov: Early Masterworks.
