Gravitas Ventures is heading down Sweet River after closing a deal with UK-based sales company Reason8 Films for North American rights to the Australian thriller, says Screendaily
Sweet River tells the story of Hannah, whose search for her son’s body leads her to a sleepy rural town that hides dark secrets.
It’s the narrative directorial debut for Justin McMillan (Storm Surfers 3D), adds the site which notes that the film stars Lisa Kay, Martin Sacks and Eddie Baroo.
The film premiered at Screamfest LA in October, and was recently picked up by Netflix for Australia and New Zealand where it will be released as a Netflix Original.
Gravitas is looking to release the Australian mystery thriller theatrically in April next year.
“Gravitas is thrilled to be able to bring Sweet River to North American audiences. It is not only a strong genre piece, but a smart, haunting look at the power of grief,” said Rogalsky, Gravitas’ acquisitions coordinator.
