The US dramatic competition title stars Clifton Collins, Jr., Molly Parker and Moises Arias.
Sony Pictures Classics acquired worldwide rights to Sundance drama Jockey.
The title of the American dramatic competition stars Clifton Collins Jr., Molly Parker and Moises Arias, and was the debut in the direction of Clint Bentley.
The record line reads: “An elderly jockey (Collins) hopes to win a final title for his longtime trainer (Parker), who has acquired what appears to be a champion horse. But the years – and the injuries – have affected his body, calling into question his ability to continue his passion throughout life. And the arrival of a young novice knight (Arias), who claims to be his son and which he takes under his protection, further complicates the path to making his dream come true. . “
Bentley directed from a script he co-wrote with Greg Kwedar. Logan Cormier and Colleen Hartnett also star.
Bentley, Kwedar and Nancy Schafer produced the film. Larry Kalas, Larry Kelly, Linda and Jon Halbert, Cheryl and Walt Penn, Genevieve and Mark Crozier were executive producers with Cindy and John Greenwood, Ann Grimes, Jay Old, Benjamin Fuqua, Jordy Wax and Collins Jr.
ICM Partners negotiated the deal on behalf of the filmmakers, with international sales made by Films Boutique.
