EXCLUSIVE: Greenwich Entertainment has acquired North American distribution rights to Sundance dramedy Run Amok, the feature directorial debut of NB Mager.
The Tandem Pictures and Greenmachine production stars Alyssa Marvin, Margaret Cho, Sophia Torres, Elizabeth Marvel, Bill Camp, Yul Vazquez, Grace Reiter, Jim Kaplan, Nuha Jes, Pilot Bunch, Molly Ringwald, and Patrick Wilson.
Greenwich plans to release the film in theaters early next year after the company’s Andy Bohn negotiated the deal with CAA Media Finance on behalf of the filmmakers.
In Run Amok, “a” teenage girl stages an elaborate musical about the one day her high school wishes it could forget, a school shooting. Her artistic endeavor brings her into conflict with the adults in her community, whose platitudes and empty promises obscure the genuine needs of the students.”
Pic was produced by Tandem Pictures’ Julie Christeas and Greenmachine’s Frank Hall Green with executive producers Patrick Wilson, Allison Franco, Tom Franco, Tad Selby, Derek Strum, Joav Bally, Allison Stockel, Jon Stockel, Lela Meadow-Conner, Jaykant R. Patel, Rajesh Penta, Rama Penta, Andy Bruer, Elia Petridis, Jay Rittberg, Ken Hayes, Brian Troy and Ahish Bansal.

“Run Amok is a modern coming-of-age story that unflinchingly mirrors the times we live in— so it always had to walk a fine line between humor and pain, absurdity and heartbreak,” said director NB Mager. “Greenwich felt like the ideal partner from our first conversation— they have the sort of vision, daring, and authenticity that perfectly encapsulates Run Amok‘s fearless young protagonists.”
