EXCLUSIVE: Archstone Entertainment has acquired international rights to Little League Baseball drama You Gotta Believe, starring Luke Wilson, Academy Award nominee Greg Kinnear, Sarah Gadon, and Molly Parker, and will begin sales at the AFM.
Directed by Ty Roberts (12 Mighty Orphans) from a script by Lane Garrison, the sports drama follows the true story of a Little League team of misfits who dedicate their season to a teammate’s ailing father.
Against all odds, they make it to the World Series finals in a game that became an ESPN classic. The film was produced by Matt Harvey, Houston Hill, and Roberts’ Santa Rita Film Co, and released on 730 screens on August 30 by Well Go USA. “After a strong domestic release, Santa Rita Film Co is proud to partner with Archstone on the international distribution of this heartfelt inspirational film that transcends traditional genres,” said the producers. “It’s been a labor of love bringing this true story to the screen, and we’ve been amazed by the response both in the US and abroad.
We’re thrilled to partner with the experts at Archstone to bring it to the international marketplace.” Further titles on Archstone’s AFM slate include documentary Longevity Hackers with Edward Norton, Tony Hawk, Mark Cuban, Tony Robbins, and Wim Hof; action-horror-musical The Devil And The Daylong Brothers, starring Rainey Qualley and Keith Carradine, and crime-thriller Hollywood Grit with Tyrese Gibson.
