Gunpowder & Sky has picked up North American rights to “Hearts Beat Loud,” a dramedy with “Parks and Recreation” star Nick Offerman, before its Sundance Film Festival debut.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has already purchased foreign rights to the picture. It premieres as the festival’s closing night film.
“Hearts Beat Loud” follows Offerman as a Brooklyn record store owner, who is forced to close his shop, and cooks up an idea to form a band with his college-bound daughter (Kiersey Clemons). The cast includes Ted Danson, Blythe Danner, and Toni Collette. But perhaps the biggest draw for buyers is Brett Haley, who has become the rare indie filmmaker who can combine strong critical notices with commercial success. His two previous Sundance entries, “I’ll See You in My Dreams” and “The Hero,” went on to achieve solid box office results.
