Row K Entertainment has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to “Charlie Harper,” starring Emilia Jones and Nick Robinson. The film recently premiered at TIFF, where Row K also picked up Gus Van Sant’s “Dead Man’s Wire.”
“Charlie Harper” follows the love story of Charlie (Robinson) and Harper (Jones) as they begin to navigate their early 20s while falling in love with one another. As the pair become closer, they begin to discover themselves as both individuals and as a couple.
The film is co-directed by Tom Dean and Mac Eldridge. “Charlie Harper” is produced by Wyck Godfrey, Isaac Klausner, Laura Quicksilver, Patrick Wachsberger, Ashley Stern and Mallory Edens.
“Tom and Mac have crafted a captivating feature with ‘Charlie Harper,’ brought to life by powerful performances from Nick Robinson and Emilia Jones,” said MCT Principals and Row K Co-Chairman Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh in a press release. “On the heels of our first acquisition out of TIFF, this second pickup reflects the momentum we’re building at Row K and our commitment to bringing daring, filmmaker-driven stories to audiences. We’re especially excited to be championing a film that captures the exhilaration of early adulthood in a way that is both timeless and deeply resonant.”
“Row K’s commitment to distributing exceptional storytelling to wide audiences makes them the perfect home for this film,” said producer Mallory Edens, Founder of Little Ray Media. “At its core, ‘Charlie Harper’ is about love, heartbreak, and the bittersweet process of becoming who you are — themes that feel both timeless and universal. We’re thrilled to have found incredible partners in Row K to bring this story to audiences everywhere.”
Additional executive producers for the film include Wesley R. Edens, Pascal Breton, Lionel Uzan, Marty Bowen, and Ashley Farrell.
The acquisition was negotiated by UTA Independent Film Group, Picture Perfect Federation and Little Ray Media.
