Focus Features has acquired worldwide rights to AdScott Pictures\u2019 contemporary comedy For a Good Time, Call\u2026, the debut feature from director Jamie Travis. For a Good Time, Call\u2026, written by Lauren Anne Miller & Katie Anne Naylon, world-premiered this week at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Focus CEO James Schamus and president Andrew Karpen made the announcement today.<\/p>\n
Two young women, short on the funds needed to live in New York City, agree to room together. But they\u2019re an at-odds couple; Lauren (played by Ms. Miller) is reserved, while Katie (Ari Graynor of The Sitter) is irrepressible. These roommates have nothing in common \u2013 until Lauren discovers that Katie is working as a phone-sex operator, and recognizes a good business opportunity. As the money begins to roll in, the two realize the value of not just their booming partnership but their growing friendship.<\/p>\n
Ms. Miller and Ms. Naylon produced the movie with Josh Kesselman, Jenny Hinkey, and Jennifer Weinbaum. Ms. Graynor is also an executive producer of the movie along with Daniel M. Miller, who financed the film through his AdScott Pictures. The filmmakers were represented in the transaction by Cinetic Media and Sloss Eckhouse LawCo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
