Sundance 2017: Film Acquisitions2 of 43
Beach Rats (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
New indie distributor Neon picked up this coming-of-age drama from festival veteran Eliza Hittman. The film, which won the U.S. Dramatic Competition's directing award, depicts a Brooklyn teenager who balances his time between his trouble-making friends and a potential new girlfriend, while exploring a penchant for cruising for older men online. In the wake of controversy surrounding the fate of one of the story's characters, Pittman has proved herself to be a filmmaker who is truly one to watch.
