As well as that IFTN reports Ripple World Pictures did well at Cannes and that Parked has been sold in the UK and Ireland, Element Pictures Distribution releasing it in Ireland and High Fliers releasing in the UK both in October.
In ‘Parked’, Colm Meaney (Get Him to the Greek) plays a proud man living in his car who is inspired to be a better person by a drug dealer. The film co-stars Colin Morgan (Merlin), Stuart Graham (Omagh) and Michael McElhatton (Spin the Bottle). Produced by Jacqueline Kerrin and Dominic Wright, the film is written by Ciaran Creagh and directed by Darragh Byrne (Mixed Blessings). The film received four IFTA nominations earlier this year including a Best Actor nod for its star Colm Meaney.
’Parked’ is to be released theatrically in Ireland by Element Pictures Distribution in October and it is hoped that High Fliers, who took the UK distribution rights for the film in Cannes, will release it across the UK at the same time. ‘Parked’ is to have a limited US theatrical release in the autumn through Olive Films who took the American distribution rights just before Cannes.
Discussions are still underway for the distribution of both ‘Retreat’ and ‘Parked’ in other territories.
