Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios company, has acquired North American rights to Adam Christian Clark’s darkly comedic relationship drama NEWLY SINGLE starring Adam Christian Clark (“Caroline and Jackie”), Jennifer Kim (“Mozart in the Jungle”), Molly C. Quinn (“Castle”), and Anna Jacoby-Heron (“Stranger Things”). The film is produced by Adam Hendricks, John Lang, and Greg Gilreath from Divide/Conquer, with Jordan Michaud-Scorza, as well as James Dahl from Modern Man FIlms. NEWLY SINGLE had its festival World Premiere at Tallinn Black Nights Festival in late 2017 and it also just played at CPH-PIX Film Festival in September. Gravitas Ventures will release the film this December 7, 2018.
Brendan Gallagher, Executive Vice President at Gravitas Ventures said, “Gravitas is excited to be partnering with Adam Christian Clark and the talented filmmaking team that he has assembled on this dark and entertaining comedy.”
“We are immensely proud that Gravitas will be releasing Adam Christian Clark’s sophomore effort out into the marketplace. Adam is a powerful storyteller with a unique vision, and the type of filmmaker we try to empower here at Divide/Conquer,” said Adam Hendricks on behalf of the producers.
American filmmaker Adam Christian Clark directs and stars in this jet black comedy centered around the Los Angeles dating scene, as a self-obsessed filmmaker finds himself on the market once again. The film is a darkly funny and sometimes brutal exercise. While the film is reminiscent of great American cinema of the 1970’s with a somewhat staccato structure made up of disparate moments, this is still a thoroughly modern affair replete with some graphic sexuality and an often harsh takedown on modern views of dating.
The deal for NEWLY SINGLE was negotiated by Gallagher fir Gravitas, and by Zac Locke of Divide/Conquer on behalf of the filmmakers.
