Written by: FFT Webmaster | March 22nd, 2011
DOMESTIC DEALS Listed by SALES AGENT
As the theatre lights dimmed on the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, the independent film community is excited because more than 50 movies shown here have been acquired for distribution by movie or TV studios — more than twice the number sold last year. This unprecedented number of distribution acquisitions is very unusual and an extremely positive sign for Independents readying films for 2012.
