Making Deals at DOC NYC
November 21, 2014
We’re proud to announce several acquisitions that took place at this year’s festival, from Opening Night selection Do I Sound Gay? to Closing Night’s The Yes Men Are Revolting, and hopefully even more to come in between!
The Cult of JT LeRoy and Enquiring Minds: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer were also picked up by Film Sales Company. Andrew Herwitz of Film Sales Company said: “DOC NYC is a perfect place to launch these three very commercial films and we expect sales in multiple territories on each of them. We have already received remake interest in them as well. ”
Corroborates Anthony Kaufman in Indiewire:
“Enquiring Minds, a chronicle of the tabloid National Enquirer, has already closed a multi-territory deal with a subscription VOD provider, according to sales agent Andrew Herwitz, who is also representing the ping-pong doc Top Spin and The Cult of JT Leroy, two other docs that will likely find distribution…An Open Secretis also likely to close a deal out of DOC NYC within the next few weeks, according to Valentinas.”
