EXCLUSIVE: Third Window Films has picked up Japanese porn comedy Make Room for UK distribution and international sales excluding Asia.

The company is also handling the film for festivals worldwide following its Grand Prix win at Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival last month

CEO Adam Torel quickly sealed a deal for the Japanese comedy with Joint Entertainment for Taiwan, and has agreed with Ryohei Masuoka, director of Japan’s Geta Films/Spirits Project, for them to handle other Asian territories.

“It’s a funny and touching film set in the make-up room of a porn set and based on director Kei Morikawa’s experiences in the adult film industry,” said Torel.

“Starring a host of real-life porn stars alongside professional and amateur actors, it was really the stand-out film of Yubari and rightly deserved to pick up the Grand Prix.”

Speaking of splitting the international sales with Masuoka, he said: “Actually, we are both so passionate about the film that we decided to team up to give it the most exposure.”

Directed by Kei Morikawa, the film stars Beni Ito, Aki Morita, Nanami Kawakami, Riri Kuribayashi. The actresses, aside from Morita, who starred in Metamorphosis, are from the adult film industry.

Make Room has its market premiere at HK Filmart on March 25.
